Atoms do not have positive and negative ends.
Molecules, which are made up of several atoms, can be positive at one end and negative at the other; these are called "polar" molecules. The most common polar molecule is water, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H2O.

Does a magnet repel its same type?
Positive end to positive end = repel Negative end to negative end = repel Negative end to positive end = attract
Does the positive end of a battery go to the positive or negative end of the terminal?
The positive end of a battery goes to the positive end of the terminal. In retro spec, the negative end of a battery goes to the negative end of the terminal.
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.
Which water molecule has a partial positive charge?
hydrogen is partially positive and oxygen is partially negative so your answer is oxygen
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end
Why do electrons move from negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.
Why do electron move from the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.
Why does a dipole moment orient from negative to positive if in an electric field the field runs from positive to negative?
Because opposite charges attract. The negative end of the dipole moment is trying to get to the positive end of the field, and the positive end of the dipole is trying to get to the negative end of the field.
Which end of a AA battery is positive which is negative?
The flat smooth end is negative. The end with the small bump in the center is positive.
What is positively and negatively charged in a water molecule?
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
What is it called when positive and negative charges transmit energy?
Because in an unbalanced system, the positive end a positive charge, and the negaticve end has a negative charge. Though current (which is reletive to the "positiveness" of an area) flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.
What causes the water molecule to have a negative charge?
The water molecule does not have a negative charge. The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, and tends to hold the shared electrons more tightly than the hydrogen atoms.
