What is a molecule that has a negative charge on one side and a positive on the other?

If you're talking about formal charges, I think "zwitterion" is the word you're looking for. If that doesn't sound right, try "amphoteric" which technically isn't quite the same but is a related concept.
If you mean partial charges, then "polar" or "dipole" are possibilities.

What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one and and and negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
Are polar bonds positive?
one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
How do polar molecules differ from non-polar molecules?
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.
Is oxygen postitive charge or negative?
For my ANSER IS: The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and aslightpositive charge near its hydrogen atoms. When a neutralmolecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar molecule.
When we say water is a polar substance what is that telling us?
It is telling us that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one and and and negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end a negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What is a molecule that has a partial positive charge on one end a partial negative charge on the other?
This is a polar molecule.
Are polar bonds positive?
one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
What type of polar molecule has a postitive charge at one end in an negative charge at the other end?
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.
How do polar molecules differ from non-polar molecules?
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.
Dipoles arise when?
One end of a molecule or atom has a partial negative charge and the other end has a partial positive charge.
What charges does a polar molecule have on opposite ends?
A polar molecule doesn't necessarily have any overall charge. All polar means is that one part of the molecule has a negative charge and another part of the same molecule has a positive charge. These charges balance. When the charges don't balance and there is a net charge, it is referred to as an ion. An example of a polar molecule is fluoro-methane, or CH3F. The fluorine attracts the electrons in the bond a lot harder than carbon. so the fluorine has a negative charge while the carbon atom ends up with a positive charge.
Do polar covalent bonds have a positive or negative charge?
Both. One side is positive while the other is negative. Taking H2O as an example, the hydrogen molecule pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, and further away from the two Oxygen molecules. This gives the Oxygen side of the H2O molecule a positive charge and the Hydrogen side a negative charge.
When a molecule has a positive end and a negative end it is called?
Molecules that have partially positive and negative regions are called polar molecules. Polarity results from an unequal attraction of electrons between the atoms that make up a molecule. The electrons are more drawn towards atoms with a higher electronegativity, thus making these atoms partially negative.
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.
