"A type of covalent bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally"
In water you have dissociation into H+ and OH-.
However in terms of polar and non polar, the key thing is that You have an oxygen there (specifically OH), and no hydrocarbon backbone that would make it non-polar

What is a molecule called when it has a polar and non polar region?
Detergent (or soap).
Is A polar molecule an ion?
No a molecule is a molecule, polar or nonpolar.
What is the separation of charges within a polar molecule called?
dipole
What is a molecule with opposite charge on each end called?
"polar"
Is molecule AsF3 polar?
It is a polar molecule and has polar bonds.
What is meant by the term non-polar molecule?
polar bears!
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called what?
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a polar molecule.
A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?
It is called polar
What is called a molecule that has a posetive and negative end?
Polar molecule
What are the functions of the polar and nonpolar regions in soap and detergent molecules?
there is no such thing as a non polar end, the whole molecule is either polar or nonpolar. in a polar molecule, the negative end has the purpose of being attracted and combining with the positive end of another polar molecule; if that's what you meant.
Why is a molecule in which charges are unevenly distributed called a polar molecule?
Because the eletronic charges are unevenly distributed, that's why it's called polar.
What is a molecule called when it has a polar and non polar region?
Detergent (or soap).
What is the best way to describe a phospholipid?
a lipid molecule with a polar head and tail.
Is CH3F polar or non polar?
This compound, called propane, is nonpolar.
What is polar covalent molecule called?
ionic compound
What is called when electrons are not shared equally in a molecule?
polar
When a molecule has a positive end and a negative end it is called?
Molecules that have partially positive and negative regions are called polar molecules. Polarity results from an unequal attraction of electrons between the atoms that make up a molecule. The electrons are more drawn towards atoms with a higher electronegativity, thus making these atoms partially negative.
