Water molecule has a structure like this:
H-O-H
Here, one oxygen atom forms a covalent bond with each of the hydrogen atoms.
However, oxygen being more electronegative, it has a tendency to pull the bond pair of electrons towards itself developing a partial negative charge on oxygen atom and a partial positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms.
Thus, it can be said that water molecule is polar in nature.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
Could Water be a polar molecule?
Water is a polar molecule.
Is H2O a Polar molecule?
H2O is a water molecule, which is polar.
What does the composition of a water affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
Is Hsub2O a polar molecule or nonpolar?
I will assume Hsub2O is H2O [water] Water is a polar molecule.
Is tap water polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
Is h2o molecule polar or nonpolar?
It is polar because it is asymmetrical
Is water a polar or nonpolar molecule?
Water is a polar molecule because it has a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms due to differences in electronegativity. This unequal sharing of electrons gives water a polarity, making it a polar molecule.
Why does water and oil separate?
water is a polar molecule. so it doesn't attract to oil (another polar molecule)
Why toluene is insoluble to water?
Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and like all hydrocarbons is a non polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule. The rule of dissolving is that non polar cannot dissolve in polar
Is water composed of polar bonds?
Yes, water has polar bonds, and is a very polar molecule.
Water is polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
