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.

What is called when electrons are not shared equally in a molecule?

When electrons are not shared equally in a molecule, it is called polarization or an unequal distribution of charge. This can create regions of partial positive and negative charges within the molecule, leading to dipole moments and creating polar molecules.


Are Nonpolar molecules the result of unequal electron pair sharing?

No, nonpolar molecules result from equal sharing of electrons between atoms, leading to a balanced distribution of electrical charge. This balance makes the molecule overall neutral and nonpolar. Unequal sharing of electrons typically results in polar molecules.

Describes a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?

A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends is called a polar molecule. This occurs when there is an unequal distribution of electrons, leading to regions of positive and negative charge. Water (H2O) is a common example of a polar molecule with oxygen carrying a partial negative charge and hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge.


Do polar molecules have ionic bonds?

Polar molecules typically do not conduct electricity as well as ionic molecules. This is because charges in polar molecules due to unequal sharing of electrons are not as strong as the charges on ions
