Want this question answered?
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
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
None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.
The oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell, while the oxygen atom has 1 electron. The two hydrogen atoms share their electron with the oxygen atom, when this happens, the oxygen atom becomes a negative charge, while the hydrogen becomes positive charged. Opposite charges attract, thus a molecule of water is formed.
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.
one is polar and one is nonpolar

Attractions between water molecules are called Hydrogen bonds. The higher melting and boiling points of water suggest that water molecules attract each other more that dihydrogen sulfide molecules do. Water molecules attract each other, but these attractions are not as strong as the bonds holding oxygen and hydrogen atoms together withing a molecule.

Water is polar and most chemicals are polar. The negative ends of the water molecule attract the positive ends of the chemical's molecules, and the positive ends of the water molecule attract the negative ends of the water molecule. This way the substance gets "pulled apart" from each other and mixes with water.

water i think....
One atom of Oxygen and two atoms of Hydrogen combine to form a water molecule by the shearing electrons, water has the chemical formula H2O.
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.
In water and many other compounds hydrogen and oxygen are held by covalent bonds.Between water molecules and between other polar molecules hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of a different molecule are held by hydrogen bonds.
In a water molecule, the oxygen atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do. As a result the oxygen carries a partial negative charge and the hydrogen a partial positive charge. This results in what is called a polar molecule. The positive end of one molecule will attract the negative end of another and vice versa. As a result water molecules will cling to each other in a similar manner to magnets.
