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 does it mean when a molecule is said to bepolar?
It means that one end, or one or more parts of the molecule is slightly electrically charged, such that one part of the molecule is positive and another part is negative.
What is total positive charges and negative are equal?
You mean, what happens when positive and negative charges are equal? That is simple, the equal opposite cancel each other out and we have an electrical neutrality
Why is water sticky?
The "stickiness" of water on the molecular level is due to something called intermolecular forces, specifically hydrogen bonding in the case of water. In a single molecule of water (an oxygen bonded to two hydrogens), there are two covalent bonds in which electrons are shared. But the electrons between hydrogen and oxygen are not shared equally: oxygen is more electronegative and thus exerts a greater pull on electrons. As a result, the oxygen is slightly negative (due to its pull of negative electrons) and the hydrogens are slightly positive (due to the lack of electrons). In technical terms, this is called a dipole moment. Because the oxygen of one water molecule is slightly negative and the hydrogen of another water molecule is slightly positive, they will attract each other. This attraction is called a hydrogen bond. Because there is a force pulling the two molecules together, additional force is required to pull them appart. This force is what makes water "sticky."
Does a Netron have a negative charge?
I assume that you mean 'neutron.'NO!, a Neutron does not have any charge ... it's Neutral.It's the Electron that has the negative charge and, the Proton has a positive charge.
What does polar mean in scientific meaning?
ll im not sure of the scintific meaning but i know polar means that a molecule on only slightly more postivie than negative or vise versa. like water is only slightly more positive than negative because hrdrogen is positive and oxygen is negative for a ratio of negative to positive making it 2:1
What holds water's atoms together?
Do you mean the connection between oxygen and its hydrogens? because that is a bond that is covalent (or sharing of electrons) Do you mean the connection between individual water molecules? then that is the hydrogen bonding. The attraction between the slightly negative side of the oxygen attracting to the slightly positive hydrogens that are presented on each molecule
What does it mean to say distilled water is neutral?
It carries neither a positive or negative charge.
What does negative answer mean?
its negative! negative reply, answer that is not positive
What does it mean when you say water is a polar molecules?
It means that water has a positive side and a negative side. This allows polar substances to dissolve well in water.
Do withdrew mean positive or negative?
positive
Can the sample mean in statistics be either positive or negative?
It can have either a negative or positive trend
What is a negative mean?
IN statistics yes there is a negative mean. Mean is the average of multiple numbers. Negative is opposite of positive.
What does hydran bond mean?
Do you mean hydrogen bond? This is an electrostatic (mainly) attraction, for example, between the H (slightly positively charged) on one water molecule with the O (slightly negative) on another.
What does it mean when a number has 2 lines around it?
That it is an absolute value which means that it is literally just the number, neither positive nor negative, but stands for ALL values of that number including the positive and the negative. so for instance if you had |2| it is neither positive nor negative as that, but it stands for a +2 and a -2. Slightly confusing to explain, but... hope it's helpful.
A negative plus a positive equels?
A negative or a positive! It depends on the question.EXAMPLES-7 + 3 = -4 ( a negative answer)-7 + 8 = 1 (a positive answer)IF you mean a negative times a positive, the answer is negative:-3 x 5 = -15
What is the different between positive and negative decibel?
Negative decibels mean damping (loss) and positive decibels mean amplification (gain).
