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.

Molecule that has a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end?
A polar molecule. The charges are signified using δ± (delta meaning a difference or change, lowercase meaning it is a small difference, the ± denoting whether that end is positive or negative).If the same molecule contains both positively and negatively charged groups, it's called a zwitterion.A molecule having both slightly negative and positive ends is a polar molecule.
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.
Which end of the water molecule is attracted to the sodium ion?
Since water is a slightly polar molecule (the hydrogen end being slightly positive and the oxygen ends being slightly negative) the positively charged sodium ion (Na+) will be attracted to the oxygen end of the water molecule.
Why does a substance mix well in water?
Water is a polar molecule, meaning that one end is negative and the other positive. Substances dissolve in water by "sticking" to one end of the water molecule. The better the molecules adhere, the more you can dissolve into a given quantity. The relatively tiny size of the water molecule, combined with its high polarity, has led it to be called "the universal solvent."
What does high incidence of hydrogen bonding mean?
It can mean high surface tension. Hydrogen bonding occurs in water because each water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms, and that constitutes the positive end of that molecule with no electron present (other than the one tied up in the covalent bond with oxygen.) The oxygen end of the molecule is negative (because of unshared electrons.) The attaction between the positive end of one water molecule to the negative end of another is hydrogen bonding, and it explains many of water's properties, including surface tension, how water expands when it freezes, and even why snowflakes are 6-sided.
What molecule is called that has a positive and a negative end?
Polaric molecule
A molecule that has a negative and poositve end is?
A molecule that has a negative and positive end is a polar molecule.
What is a molecule that has a positive end and a negative end?
Polaric molecule
What is a molecule with a positive end and negative end?
H2o
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 kind off molecule has a positive end and a negative end?
A polar molecule such as water
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end a negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
Do polars attract?
yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one and and and negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
Do polar molecules attract?
yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule
What is called a molecule that has a posetive and negative end?
Polar molecule
