What else can I help you with?
What kind off molecule has a positive end and a negative end?
A polar molecule such as water
Which end of water molecule acts negative?
Slightly negative. The oxygen end of the water molecule is slightly negative because of oxygen's greater electronegativity. The two electrons of the hydrogens in covalent bonding spend more of their time in oxygen's valance shell.
What causes water to be more polar molecule?
Because of the way the hydrogens bond to the oxygen in water, the molecular geometry is a bent or angular shape, and the oxygen has 2 lone pairs of electrons. This makes the oxygen part of the water molecule rather negative relative to the hydrogen part of the molecule, which is rather positive. Thus, there is a separation of charge, and this is what makes the water molecule so polar.
What molecule has a positive end and negative end?
A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.
What is a molecule that has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other?
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.
When placed between oppositely charged metal plates the region of a water molecule attracted to the negative plate is what?
partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
When NaCl dissolves in water which end of the water molecule is attracted to the Na plus?
The oxygen end of the water molecule is attracted to the Na+ ion. This attraction occurs due to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule and the positive charge on the sodium ion.
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.
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.
What is a molecule with opposite charge on each end called?
A molecule with opposite charge on each end is called a polar molecule. Examples include water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3).
What is polar molcule?
A polar molecule is a molecule in which the distribution of electrons is uneven, resulting in one end of the molecule being slightly positively charged and the other end being slightly negatively charged. This creates a separation of electric charge, making the molecule polar. Water is a common example of a polar molecule.
What results from the oxygen atom being at one end of a water molecule and the hydrogen atoms being at the end?
Polarity. The oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive, thus water has all the properties we a familiar with and bonds easily and tentatively, one water molecule to the other.
