Yes. A charged molecule is called an ion. Positively-charged ions are called cations while negatively-charged ions are called anions. For example, protonating ammonia (i.e. adding a proton to ammonia), NH3, yields the ammonium cation with the formula NH4+.

Why do nonpolar molecules not have oppositely charged ends?

Nonpolar molecule is one which electrons are shared equally in bonds. Such a molecule does not have oppositely charged ends. This is true of molecules made from two identical atoms or molecules that are symmetric, such as CCl4.


What is the primary attractive force among the polar molecules in liquid hydrogen chloride?

Polar molecules have a positively charged pole and a negatively charged pole. The positively charged pole of one molecule will attract the negatively charged pole of another molecule, in accordance with Coulomb's Law.


How do water molecules interact with charged material?

Water molecules are polar. Charged particles such as ions attract water molecules. Positive ions often have a "shell" of water molecules around them, pointing their negative O atoms at the central ion, both in solution and in the solid forms (hydrates)
