It is NONpolar.The shared pair is equidistant from both carbon and hydrogen atoms. Neither the carbon atom, nor the hydrogen atom can pull the shared pair towards itself as there is little difference [carbon = 2.5ev, hydrogen = 2.1ev] in their electronegativities.

∙ 11y agoThe hydrogen atom, like all atoms, is electrically neutral. It consists of one positively charged proton and one negatively charged electron (some isotopes also include uncharged neutrons) and these opposite charges add up to a charge of zero. In some situations the hydrogen atom can lose its electron in which case it becomes a positively charged ion, H+. Remember that there is a difference between an atom and an ion.

∙ 11y agoNo, it is electrically neutral as has as many electrons as there are protons in its atoms' cores. If the molecule receives or looses an electron it becomes negatively or positively charged ion.

What are substances that releases positively charged hydrogen ions while what are substances that accept positively charged hydrogen ions?
A compound that accepts hydrogen ions (which are always positive) is a Lewis Base. A compound that lets go of a hydrogen ion is a Lewis Acid.
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule attracted to the negative plate is what?
partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
What is another name for an isolated proton?
Hydrogen Ion
Why does hydrogen occur in diatomic form?
Hydrogen does occur in the diatomic form because it consists of the single positively charged electron and proton.
What is positively charged and composed of protons and neutrons?
The nucleus of an atom (for hydrogen, it is usually just one proton).
What is the charge of hydrogen peroxide?
The chemical Hydrogen Peroxide is positively charged.
What kind of charge is on the nucleus'?
A nucleus is positively charged (Apart from hydrogen), because it has protons which are positively charged and neutrons which have no charge.
How many protons does a positively charged ion of hydrogen have?
1
What are substances that releases positively charged hydrogen ions while what are substances that accept positively charged hydrogen ions?
A compound that accepts hydrogen ions (which are always positive) is a Lewis Base. A compound that lets go of a hydrogen ion is a Lewis Acid.
Does salt release positively charged hydrogen ions when placed in water?
No.
A bond that forms between a positively charged hydrogen atom of one molecule and a negatively charged region of another molecule is a?
Hydrogen Bond
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule attracted to the negative plate is what?
partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
What is another name for an isolated proton?
Hydrogen Ion
Is water negatively charged or positively charged?
Water is neutral. This is because it has hydrogen and oxygen particles. One is positively charged, one negatively. This means that they cancel out - water is neutral.
What kind of bonds form between the negatively charged and positively charged poles of water molecules?
hydrogen bonds
How hydrogen bonds allow water to act as a solvent to dissolve sodium chloride?
since hydrogen is positively charged it attracts the negatively charged chlorine in sodium chloride
What substance is formed when a negatively charged hydrogen atom bonds with hydroxide?
Water is formed when a positively charged hydrogen atom reacts with a hydroxide ion. Hydride ions react with water to form hydrogen.
