Why benzene is non polar?
Answer:
Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativity and therefore the bonds are only slightly polar.
As benzene is a symmetrial molecule the polar nature of the C-H bonds is cancelled out, making benzene non-polar.
Benzene is a flat regular hexagon. All the polar bonds pull in such a direction that the centre of nuclear charge is still exactly the same as the centre of electronic charge.
i m editing my answer hope this will help u more inshallah

see i think its now clear for u that y i said that the net effect is zero even thought there are partial charges present there
