Oxygen is a highly electronegative element that draws electrons towards itself causing an imbalance of charge and hence polarity.
The actual answer should be an anion which are polar species.
Unequal sharing of electrons in a water molecule causes the molecule to be polar.
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
water is a polar, covalent molecule. it doesn't have an unsharing molecule. its also has to do with the 8 properties of water.
the wet kind...
The slightly negative end of one polar molecule will be attracted to the slightly positive, hydrogen end of another molecule.
the unequal sharing of electrons
Unequal sharing of electrons.
asymmetrical charge distribution
The polarity of the water molecule is responsible for most of water's properties.
It is polar, not polor.
The OH's in glycerol are what make it polor. They lead to the formation of a dipole. As they do in Alcohol and Glycol.
