A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
For my ANSER IS: The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and aslightpositive charge near its hydrogen atoms. When a neutralmolecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar molecule.
It is telling us that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge

Both. It is slightly negative from one side and slightly positive from the other.
This is a polar molecule.
one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
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.
Water is a highly polar molecule which means that one side of the molecule is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative. This means that water molecules are attracted and can form weak bonds with molecules that also have positive sides and negative sides (polar molecules). Basically, the positive side of the water molecule is attracted to the negative side of the polar molecule and the negative side of the water molecule is attracted to the positive side of the polar molecule. Is this way the water is able to surround and separate the polar molecules. The story is much the same for an ionic compound which contains a mixture of positive and negative ions. The positive side of the water molecules surround the negative ions and the negative side of the water molecules surround the positive ions.
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have slight positive charges. Particles with like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other.
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
A polar molecule...such as water. The oxygen molecules pulls the electrons closer, causing the oxygen to have a more negative charge and the two hydrogen atoms to have more positive charges. this is very important in the bonding of water molecules to other water molecules.
A polar molecule doesn't necessarily have any overall charge. All polar means is that one part of the molecule has a negative charge and another part of the same molecule has a positive charge. These charges balance. When the charges don't balance and there is a net charge, it is referred to as an ion. An example of a polar molecule is fluoro-methane, or CH3F. The fluorine attracts the electrons in the bond a lot harder than carbon. so the fluorine has a negative charge while the carbon atom ends up with a positive charge.
