Some molecules are quadrapolar, having two positives and two negatives. Most small polar molecules, like water, have one dominant positive side.

What is a molecule that has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other?
A polar molecule...such as water. The oxygen molecules pulls the electrons closer, causing the oxygen to have a more negative charge and the two hydrogen atoms to have more positive charges. this is very important in the bonding of water molecules to other water molecules.
In the plasma membrane why is the nonpolar attracted when opposites are supposed to attract ie polar and nonpolar?
I can only answer the second part of your question. As far as attraction goes, polar is not the opposite of nonpolar. Polar in itself has two opposites: positive and negative. Those two are the opposites that attract; a positive region of a polar molecule is attracted to the negative region of another polar molecule.
Molecule that has a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end?
A polar molecule. The charges are signified using δ± (delta meaning a difference or change, lowercase meaning it is a small difference, the ± denoting whether that end is positive or negative).If the same molecule contains both positively and negatively charged groups, it's called a zwitterion.A molecule having both slightly negative and positive ends is a polar molecule.
Why is a water molecle polar?
Water is polar due to the two sets of unbound electron pairs on the oxygen molecule which oppose the positivly charged hydrogen. This causes a dipole, a positive and negative end to the molecule.
Molecules that have an unequal distribution of charges?
A molecule with an uneven distribution of charge is said to be a polar molecule. A polar molecule, because of an uneven distribution of charge, basically has an "end" that is slightly more positive and another that is slightly more negative. Let's look at an example.The water molecule is a good example of a polar molecule. It's oxygen end is a bit more negative, and the end with the pair of hydrogen atoms on it is slightly more positive. That gives the molecule an overall "endedness" with a positive and a negative end.
Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of an nonpolar molecule.?
true
Is iodine polar or non polar?
An iodine molecule is formed by two 'I' atoms. It implies that the molecule is symmetrical and it is non-polar.
Is oxygen molecules polar?
No. A non-polar molecule is one that the electrons are distributed more symmetrically and thus does not have an abundance of charges at the opposite sides. Oxygen molecule O2 is formed with two of the same atom. The electrons are distributed more symmetrically. Therefore, O2 is a non-polar molecule. See more explanation at related link
Is H2O a nonpolar molecule?
H2O is actually a polar molecule. The molecule can split into two ions: H+ and OH-
what two things can make a molecule polar?
Answer 1:The presence of polar bonds Answer 2:The shape of the molecule Apex
What kind of molecule has two positive atoms attached to a positive atom?
There is no such thing. A positive molecule will only be attracted to a negative molecule.
What does it mean when a molecule is said to be polar?
If a molecule's charges are unevenly distributed its said to be "polar" because the molecule is a bit like a magnet with two poles.
