It makes the molecule polar
It makes the molecule polar
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.
The geometry of PO(OH)3 is tetrahedral with an unsymmetric charge distribution.Therefore this molecule is polar.
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
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.

A polar molecule, like water, is one that has a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other. A non-polar molecule, like a lipid, is one that has a neutral charge throughout.
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.

It is a non polar molecule. It has optical characteristics but no charge.
All polar molecules have a slightly positive charge at one end and a slightly negative charge at the other. In fact, it is the definition of 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.
This is a polar molecule.
Polar molecule
When dealing with polarity of a molecule one needs to consider the electronegativity (how much a particular atom wants electrons). Due to the fact that oxygen is very electronegative, and the bent shape of the molecule, water is polar. The hydrogen molecules will have a partial positive charge because the oxygen pulls on the electrons and almost in a way "hogs" them (giving oxygen a partial negative charge).
