The shape of the molecule will determine the direction of each of the individual bond dipoles, and thus, will always play a role in determining the polarity of the molecule as a whole.

Think of each polar bond in a molecule as a little arrow pointing from positive to negative. This tells us that the bond dipole is a vector quantity.

Like any other vector quantity, the direction is a vital aspect of its description. So, the geometry of the molecule determines the direction that the bond dipole vectors point.

The polarity of the molecule results from adding up all these individual bond dipoles.

ipn [44]
The condition of acidosis can also cause hyperkalemia because the higher H+ concentration diffuses to the intracellular fluid, pushing K+ towards the extracellular fluid. 
Hyperkalemia describes a potassium level in the blood which is higher than normal. Potassium is a vital substance to the function of nerve and muscle cells, including those of the heart. Blood potassium is normally 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter.
