Polar
VSEPR Theory dictates that H2O is a "bent" molecule. Since the electronegativity of O is greater than H, the electron density of H2O is greater towards Oxygen. Thus, from both differences in electronegativity and the shape of the molecule, H2O is polar with a slight negative charge on O and a slight positive charge on the 2 H's.

∙ 13y agoIt is one of the most polar molecules there is. I remember it by thinking of how POLAR Bears swim in the WATER.

∙ 14y agoPolar! Because it has 2 lone pairs and it is a HYDROGEN BOND with dipole pointing towards oxygen!
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoH2O is polar because of the two hydrogen molecules being attracted to the hydrogen molecule and water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve solutions and has polarity.

What are polar non polar?
H2 non-polar (equal sharing) H20 polar (uneven sharing)
Is H20 a ionic polar covalent or non polar?
Polar covalent bonds between O and H
How are polar and non-polar compounds different?
H2 non-polar (equal sharing) H20 polar (uneven sharing)
Are ch3ch2ch2ch2ch3 and ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3 miscible Are CBr4 and H20 miscible Are cl2 and H20 miscible?
1: Yes, Two polar compounds are miscible. 2. No, CBr4 is non polar, while H2O is polar; immiscible. 3. No, Cl2 is non polar, while H2O is polar: immiscible.
What type of matter is H20?
H20, or water, is a polar covalent compound.
Which molecules have polarity?
Every molecule has a polarity. They can either be non-polar (same on both sides) or polar (different on both sides). For example the molecule CO2 is a non-polar molecule. H20 (water) is a polar molecule (due to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR)).
What kind of bond does H20 have?
Polar covalent
Is this covalent compound soluble in water C2 H6?
C2H6 is the hydrocarbon ethane, and it has very low solubility in water. Most hyrdocarbons are like this. They're non-polar and so can't associate with the highly polar ends of the H20 molecules. Ethane would be soluble in a non-polar solvent such as benzene (C6H6).
Is br2 polar or non polar?
non polar.
Is C10H8 polar or non polar?
Is NH4Cl polar or non polor
Is oil polar or non polar?
Oil is non polar
Is i2 polar or non-polar?
I2 is non-polar
