When someone mentions water polarity, they are talking about the intermolecular properties of water. Water is a polar-covalent bonded molecule which means that even though the hydrogens are sharing electrons with the oxygens, the electrons will be attracted slightly more to the element with the bigger nucleus.

What part of waters molecular structure makes it polar?
Its V-shaped bond angle makes it polar. Oxygen is at the point of the V and has a slightly negative charge.
Is a polar molecule is a molecule with the ability to resists changes in temperature?
A polar molecule is a molecule with slight opposite charges. Water is a polar molecule which means that each water molecule is attracted to other water molecules which accounts for waters surface tension or cohesion.
What does it mean for a substance to be polar and nonpolar?
Non-polar substances have no charges (nonionic) while polar substances have charges (ionic)
Is something polar?

Why water is found in the solid form in the polar regions?
Considering the fact that a polar region has a polar climate which includes tempuratures that are frequently below that of waters freezing temperature, it is frozen.
Does the Narwhal Whale come from Antarctica?
No. This is a northern polar animal you can find in Arctic waters.
What is the most productive habitat?

Where does a humback whale lives?
Humpback whales migrate to polar waters, but mates and calves in the tropics
What about waters chemical composition and physical attributes make it an excellent solvent?
Water has a polar molecule.
Is polar creep important?
Yes,because as the cold water at the polar goes to the warm waters of the equator the temperature at the ocean would be balanced ;)bunnyshaine23@yahoo.com
What does non polar mean?

Where do humpback whales life?
