No. Polar molecules such as water have both negative and positive poles. Different parts of the molecule have slightly different charges.

Is it true thatMolecules that have distinct poles are called polar molecules?

false. they are non polar molecules, not to be confused with polar molecules. non polar molecules lack regions of electrical charge. it mostly has hydrogen and carbon atoms. an example of non polar molecules are fats and waxes.

What cause dipole interactions?

In the context of chemistry, a dipole is a polar molecule, having a negatively charged end and a positively charged end, as a result of the specific geometry of the electron configuration of that molecule. The poles of a given molecule then interact with other poles of other molecules on the basis of Coulomb's Law. Like poles repel, opposite poles attract.


Water molecules attract other water molecules and tend to pile up via?

Water molecules attract the opposite poles of other polar molecules through poles present in water itself.


What is meant by like in the solubility guideline like dissolves like?

There are basically two types of solvents, polar and non-polar. This refers to the electrical charges in a molecule; polar molecules have positive and negative poles, non-polar molecules don't. The most familiar polar solvent is water, familiar non-polar solvents would be such things as gasoline, cooking oil, etc. So, polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents. A polar substance will not dissolve in a non-polar solvent. Soap is a chemical that has both polar and non-polar elements to its molecular composition, and therefore is able to bridge the gap between polar and non-polar.

Why water molecules have positive and negative poles?

Water(H2O) is a polar molecules due to the electronegative of oxygen (O). O draws the electrons towards it creating a negative charge over its atom. The hydrogen in comparison is positive in comparison.


Why don't polar compounds mix with nonpolar compounds?

Polar compounds have poles that have a partial positive charge and a partial negative charge that attract other polar molecules. Nonpolar compounds do not have partially charged poles, so the polar substance is not attracted to them and they don't dissolve.


Lipids are what kind of molecules because of its positive and negative poles?

AnswerLipids are considered amphipathic because they contain both hydrophilic (polar) and hydrophobic (nonpolar) components.yea...i second dat. :)


What gives rise to the cohesiveness of water molecules?

Water Molecules are polar molecules. That means that one end of the molecule has a slight positive end and one end has a slight negative end. Then just like a magnet, the positive end poles the negative end connecting the two.


Why is a water molecule considered to be a polar molecule?

A water molecule is considered a polar molecule because of its shape. That is, its poles contain opposing charges, the positive and negative charge.


The difference between polar molecuels and nonpolar molecuels?

A polar molecule in which there is some separation of charge in the chemical bonds, so that one part of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the other a slight negative charge. A common example of polar molecule is water. The water acts as a solvent for polar molecules. A non-polar molecule has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed.


The attraction of water molecules to other molecules is called?

Water molecules attract the opposite poles of other polar molecules through poles present in water itself.


Why is the boiling point of water high compared to hydrogen chloride?

Water and hydrogen chloride are both polar compounds (which is to say, the molecule has both positive and negative poles) but water is more polar than hydrogen chloride. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than chlorine does, and consequently, there is a greater difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen than there is between chlorine and hydrogen. Consequently, there is a greater concentration of electrons at the oxygen atom than at the chlorine atom in these two molecules. Polarity then leads to attraction between molecules (which align themselves so that negative poles can attract positive poles) and greater attraction between molecules will result in a higher boiling point.


Do dipole orient themselves toward other dipole molecules?

Dipole molecules, those having a negatively charged pole and a positively charged pole, if they are in a liquid medium such as an aqueous solution, will orient themselves according to Coulomb's Law, with negative poles close to positive poles and distant from other negative poles.
