Is water a polar molecule?
Yes. The oxygen end is slightly negatively charged, and the hydrogen end is slightly positively charged.
What major property of water helps it hold molecules together?
Water is a "polar" molecule; one end of the molecule is negatively charged while the other end is positively charged.
Is water polar molecule?
Yes, water is a polar molecule. It has a positively charged end and a negatively charged end, causing the molecules to line up. It is this polarity that causes water to have surface tension.

Which of the following would be a polar molecule?
No following, but this is a polar molecule, H2O water Slightly negatively charged on the oxygen end and slightly positively charged on the hydrogen end. Neutral overall.
How is water an example of polar molecule?
The oxygen atom, which is negatively charged, is on one end ("pole") of the molecule, and the hydrogen atoms, which are positively charged, are on the other pole.
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule that is attracted to the negative plate is the what?
partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
Which end is positively charged on a water molecule?
The end with the 2 hydrogen molecules has a positive charge. A water molecule (H2O) and looks sorta like Mickey Mouse's head.
Which end of water molecule acts positive?
The end with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged. The oxygen end is negative.
What is positively and negatively charged in a water molecule?
The oxygen end of a water molecule has a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge.
How do water molecules act as magnets?
water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
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.
Is an HBr molecule negatively or positively charged?
The H (hydrogen) end is positively charged and Br (bromine) end is negatively charged. Hydrogen bromide is a polar molecule.
How do you describe water's polarity?
Due to the uneven distribution of the electron density, water is considered a polar molecule. The oxygen atom is more negatively charged at one end of the water molecule while the hydrogen atom at the other end is positively charged. The net result of these charges gives water its polarity.
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule attracted to the negative plate is what?
the partially positively charged hydrogen end.
Describe the electric charge on each end of the water molecule?
First there are three sides of a molecule there are 2 hydrogen sides and 1 oxygen side. The oxygen end has a slight negative charge, and the hydrogen end has positive charge. A molecule that has electrically charged areas is a polar molecule. Because water consists of polar water molecules, it is called a polar substance.
Which type of bond holds adjacent water molecules together?
A Hydrogen Bond. Weaker than covalent bonds, the positively charged hydrogen area of one water molecule interacts with the negatively charged oxygen end of an adjacent water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond.
Water is polar molecule?
Yes, water is a polar molecule. Slightly negatively charged on the oxygen end and having a slight positive charge on both hydrogen ends. Due to the high electronegativity of oxygen.
Why is a water molecle polar?
Water is polar due to the two sets of unbound electron pairs on the oxygen molecule which oppose the positivly charged hydrogen. This causes a dipole, a positive and negative end to the molecule.
Is salt hydrophobic?
No. Instead, salt is hydrophilic ("water-loving"). Salt (NaCl, or Na+ and Cl-) is very attracted to Water (H20, or H2+ and O-) because opposite electrostatic charges attract. The anionic ("negatively charged") Chlorine end of the salt molecule is attracted to the 2 cationic ("positively charged") Hydrogen ions of the water molecule: Cl- wants H2+. In the same way, the cationic Sodium end is attracted to the anionic Oxygen end: Na+ wants O-. Since each end of the salt molecule is attracted to the reciprocal end of the water molecule, there is a strong overall molecular attraction.
What is different between polar and non-polar molecules?
A polar molecule is one that has a negatively charged end and a positively charged end, which form poles. A non-polar molecule doesn't.
What does it mean to say a bond is polar?
A polar bond is when a molecule has a slightly positively charged end, and a slightly negatively charged end; there is unequal sharing.
What kind off molecule has a positive end and a negative end?
A polar molecule such as water
Are The properties of water are due to the polarity of the water molecule?
Yes, the properties of water are due to the polarity of the water molecule. water is cohesive because the Hydrogen end of the water molecule is attracted to the Oxygen end of other molecules.
