Atoms are considered to be neutral with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. If an atom takes on extra electron(s) it becomes negativelly charged and is termed an ion or more specifically an anion to distinguishi it from positively charged ions.

Added:
The charge is caused by difference in number of protons (+ charges) and the number of electrons (- charges). When balanced the atom is neutral. Charged atoms are called: IONS

Why are polar covalently bonded molecules soluble in water and non polar are not?
Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.
Why do you think polar and nonpolar molecules do not mix?
Polar molecules happen when there is an unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. This leads to a partial positive change on one molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. An example of this is water (H2O). The hydrogens have partial positive charges and the oxygen has a partial negative charge.
Emergent properties of water result in the fact that water molecules?
are attracted to each other by partial negative and positive charges on the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, respectively
What are the bonds between atoms that make up water molecules?
Those are covalent bonds.Bonds between water molecules are defined as polar covalent where there is an unequal distribution of partial charges.
Is ddt polar?
It is non-polar. There are no partial charges.
Give one reason why water molecules are attracted o each other?
The H atoms with partial + charges attract O atoms with partial - charges on other water molecules.
Why are polar covalently bonded molecules soluble in water and non polar are not?
Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.
Characteristics for polar and nonpolar molecues?
Polar molecules have separation of charges .ie. they have a partial positive and partial negative charges on molecule as in water . Non polar molecules e.g.methane has no separation of positive and negative charges as difference of electronegativity in C and H is very small .
What does electronegativity allow water to do?
The higher electronegativity of oxygen allows water to carry partial charges (negative on oxygen, positive on hydrogen). These partial charges allow water to bind strongly with itself, and allows it to interact with polar molecules. The partial charge allows polar molecules to dissolve in water.
What struggle produces the partial negative and partial positive charges on a water molecule?
The water molecule has a partial negative and partial positive charge because it is a polar molecule. Electrostatic attraction between the partial negative and partial positive molecules gives the water molecule its partial charge.
Why do you think polar and nonpolar molecules do not mix?
Polar molecules happen when there is an unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. This leads to a partial positive change on one molecule and a partial negative charge on the other. An example of this is water (H2O). The hydrogens have partial positive charges and the oxygen has a partial negative charge.
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are what molecules?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
Emergent properties of water result in the fact that water molecules?
are attracted to each other by partial negative and positive charges on the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, respectively
Molecule with a positive end and a negative end?
Polar molecules have partial negative and partial positive charges on opposing sides. They have a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges.
What are the bonds between atoms that make up water molecules?
Those are covalent bonds.Bonds between water molecules are defined as polar covalent where there is an unequal distribution of partial charges.
Does ionic bonds form between molecules that have no charges?
no. it forms between molecules that have opposite charges.
Is ddt polar?
It is non-polar. There are no partial charges.
