What is a molecule that has a negative charge on one side and a positive on the other?

If you're talking about formal charges, I think "zwitterion" is the word you're looking for. If that doesn't sound right, try "amphoteric" which technically isn't quite the same but is a related concept. If you mean partial charges, then "polar" or "dipole" are possibilities.
