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.
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
the unequal sharing of electrons
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.
ionic
When you have warm water the molecules are warm enough for vapor so that causes precipitation.
Water (H2O) is a polar molecule. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, creating an uneven distribution of charge where the oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive.
A H2O polar molecule is a molecule of water where the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, leading to an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule. This causes water to have a partial negative charge at the oxygen atom and partial positive charges at the hydrogen atoms, making it a polar molecule.
SO2 is a polar molecule because the sulfur atom has a lone pair of electrons, causing an asymmetrical distribution of charge within the molecule. This creates a dipole moment and makes SO2 a polar molecule.
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.
Because of the way the hydrogens bond to the oxygen in water, the molecular geometry is a bent or angular shape, and the oxygen has 2 lone pairs of electrons. This makes the oxygen part of the water molecule rather negative relative to the hydrogen part of the molecule, which is rather positive. Thus, there is a separation of charge, and this is what makes the water molecule so polar.
