The shape of the water molecule is determined by the positions of the atoms in the molecule, and this shape has the electro-negative oxygen atom at one side of the H2O molecule, opposite from the two electro-positive hydrogen atoms at the other side.
Water has polar bonds since oxygen is much more electronegative than hydrogen.
From the valence shell repulsion theory, the presence of two lone pairs and two bonded pairs of electrons around the central oxygen atom causes water to have a V-shaped structure. This is because lone pairs of electrons are more repulsive than bonded pairs of electrons.
The hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge and the oxygen atom a partial negative charge. Since water has a V-shaped structure, the centres of partial positive and negative charges do not coincide. Thus, water is polar.
The Lewis structure of a water molecule shows Oxygen has a single bond with each Hydrogen atom and two non-bonding electron pairs. Therefore, the electron geometry is Tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is Bent. This bent molecular geometry is what gives water its polarity.
Water will travel to the saltiest location so if the polarity is higher out side the cell then the cell will lose mass and water and shrink but if the polarity is higher inside the cell the cell will gain mass and if there's too much water inside it will burst open but if the polarity Is the same water will go out as its coming in
No, boiling does not affect the polarity of water. What it does is create enough energy for the water molecules to separate from one another. But the water molecules are still polar.
The property of water that has made it such an effective solvent is the polarity of the molecule. It is highly polar.

Yes. Polarity is an inherent property of the water molecule.
it allows water to carry dissolved substances in our blood.

polarity! Polarity is the reason that water and oil do not mix

The polarity of the water molecule is responsible for most of water's properties.
You really should go read the textbook.

This is the polarity of the water molecule.
