It means that water has a positive side and a negative side. This allows polar substances to dissolve well in water.

In polar regions what happens to water molecules at the ocean's surface?
Molecules always react to things so the molecules would most likely freeze but any pollution could change the molecule. say if there were a oil spill then the molecules properties would be oil.
How does molecular shape affects polarity?
generally looking at the structures of the molecules we can say wether that molecules is polar or non polar. generally linear and square planer molecules are non polar. further more diatomic molecules like (N2,O2,H2,I2,F2,Cl2,Br2) are non polar. all nobel gases are non polar.Yes, polar bond can give rise to a polar molecule, depending on the molecular shape, causing different types of changes.
Why is water not attracted to oils and fats?
Because it is like a magnatizing ordeal so to say and it just bounces of non polar molcuels. :)
Why does water have an unusually low vapor pressure for a liquid?
Because the water molecule is polar (which is to say, it has positive and negative poles) water molecules attract each other more than most other molecules of liquids have for each other. This creates a phenomenon called surface tension. Water molecules which travel freely within the body of water, meet a kind of barrier at the surface, because of this attraction to other water molecules. Hence, water does not evaporate as easily as most liquids.
Does methane float on water?
No. methane is not soluble in water, as methane is a non-polar hydrocarbon and water is a polar solvent.
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
Why does non polar molecules repel water molecules?
Because it is like a magnatizing ordeal so to say and it just bounces of non polar molcuels. :)
What do molecules do in water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are what molecules?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.

What is polar and non polar compound?
polar compounds are those which have charged ends or you can say those compound or molecules which have +ve ends and -ve ends in their structure . non polar are those which don't have any charged ends thee molecules are neutral in their configuration . polar molecules have strong force of attraction than non poalr molecules between them due to which thaey have high melting point and strength

Which substances readily diffuse through the membrane?
Small and non-polar molecules can readily pass through the cell membrane. They follow the concentration gradient, moving from the higher concentration area to the region of lower concentration.
Does methane float on water?
No. methane is not soluble in water, as methane is a non-polar hydrocarbon and water is a polar solvent.
What property of water molecules allows them to form a hydrogen bond?
because molecules are attracted to hydrogen just like woman are to man or man are to woman (it is such an easy explanation) and because they contribute to the national chemistry irbecregulation. you could just say their "hotness" attracts each other
