What type of polar molecule has a postitive charge at one end in an negative charge at the other end?

A molecule that exhibits this type of polarity is called a dipole molecule. Dipole molecules have an uneven distribution of electrical charge, resulting in a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other. This separation of charge creates a dipole moment in the molecule.


How do polar molecules differ from non-polar molecules?

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.


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.


Dipoles arise when?

One end of a molecule or atom has a partial negative charge and the other end has a partial positive charge.


Do polar covalent bonds have a positive or negative charge?

Both. One side is positive while the other is negative. Taking H2O as an example, the hydrogen molecule pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, and further away from the two Oxygen molecules. This gives the Oxygen side of the H2O molecule a positive charge and the Hydrogen side a negative charge.


What charges does a polar molecule have on opposite ends?

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.


Is it polarity acidic or basic a slight negative change at one and of a molecule a slight positive charge at the other end?

The molecule you are describing is polar, with a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other end. This indicates that the molecule has both acidic and basic characteristics, making it amphoteric.


What is the charge of a dipolar molecule?

actually a bipolar molecule(dipole) in isolation doesn't have any charge.But when it comes near a electropositive or electronegative element/ion it develops pseudo negative charge(for electropositive ion) or pseudo positive charge(for electronegative ion).


What does it mean to be a polar compound?

A polar compound is a molecule in which there is an uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge within the molecule. This charge separation leads to the molecule having a positive and negative end, making it interact with other polar molecules or ions, such as water.
