What you are describing is a polar covalent bond. In which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electron and an unbalanced distribution of charge results.
An example is HCl - the shared electron oscillates between the bonded atoms. The resulting partial charges are a property only of zones within the distribution, and not the assemblage as a whole.

Is an ion an or molecule that carries a charge?
A molecule hasn't an electrical charge. An ion has a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion).
What is the majority of negative charge on the water molecule?
there has to be a negative charge in the molecule as there is a positive charge. there is a negative charge and when it and a positive charge gets together it forms something that makes the charge neutral
How does the composition of a water molecule affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
Does Cl2 have a charge of 1 or 2?
no this is a diatomic molecule and therefore does not have a charge.
What does the composition of a water affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
What charge does 2 electrons have?
2 unbalanced electrons have a 2- charge on the molecule/atom
To define current why do you use the term net charge crossing a plane?
We use the term net charge to define current due to unbalanced charges that flow.

What is the general term for an ion such as phosphate which is molecule that has an overall electric charge?
Polyatomic ion

Polyatomic ion
What happens to the charge on atoms when they form polar covalent bonds?
The charge of the molecule as a whole in unbalanced. What this per atom is that the concentration of electrons will probabilistically be more common in one place and less common in another because of how the electrons are shared.

Short and long term effects of an unbalanced diet?
the short term effects on an unbalanced diet has effect like
What is an amphoion?
An amphoion is another term for a zwitterion, a molecule such as an amino acid, which has both a positive and negative charge.
What is unbalanced force in science?
unbalanced force in science term means that the objects are not balanced
What does it mean when people say water has an unevenly distributed charge?
The hydrogens in water carry a partial positive charge, and the oxygen carries a partial negative charge. This is because of the differences in electronegativity, and the fact that the geometry of the water molecule is bent.
Does a A molecule with a positive charge attracted to another molecule with a positive charge?
Nope
