"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 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.

Because the eletronic charges are unevenly distributed, that's why it's called polar.

A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?

This describes a polar molecule, which has a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other due to an uneven distribution of electrons. Water is an example of a polar molecule, with the oxygen end being slightly negative and the hydrogen ends being slightly positive.

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.


What is a molecule called when it has a polar and non polar region?
