What molecule has a positive end and negative end?
A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.
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.
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.
Do non polar molecules have both negative or positive ends?
Some but not most non polar molecules have both negative and positive "ends" to their individual bonds. Examples include tetrafluoromethane. By definition, however, a non-polar molecule does not have negative and positive ends to an entire molecule.
What is something that forms a attraction between a hydrogen molecules with apartial positive charge and another atom or molecule with a partial or fuol negative charge?
A hydrogen bond occurs between the partially positive hydrogen end of a polar molecule and the partially negative end of another polar molecule.
A molecule that has a negative and poositve end is?
A molecule that has a negative and positive end is a polar molecule.
A molecule with a positive and a negative area is?
Polar
A molecule having slighty negative and positive ends with regard to change?
a molecule having slightly negative and positive ends with regard to change
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.
Why is a water molecule considered to be a polar molecule?
A water molecule is considered a polar molecule because of its shape. That is, its poles contain opposing charges, the positive and negative charge.
What molecule has a positive end and negative end?
A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.
What kind off molecule has a positive end and a negative end?
A polar molecule such as water
Why is a water molecle polar?
Water is polar due to the two sets of unbound electron pairs on the oxygen molecule which oppose the positivly charged hydrogen. This causes a dipole, a positive and negative end to the molecule.
Water dissolves many ionic and molecular compounds because of its what?
Water is a highly polar molecule which means that one side of the molecule is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative. This means that water molecules are attracted and can form weak bonds with molecules that also have positive sides and negative sides (polar molecules). Basically, the positive side of the water molecule is attracted to the negative side of the polar molecule and the negative side of the water molecule is attracted to the positive side of the polar molecule. Is this way the water is able to surround and separate the polar molecules. The story is much the same for an ionic compound which contains a mixture of positive and negative ions. The positive side of the water molecules surround the negative ions and the negative side of the water molecules surround the positive ions.

Do Polar molecules such as water have no negative or positive poles?
No. Polar molecules such as water have both negative and positive poles. Different parts of the molecule have slightly different charges.
