A water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
What else can I help you with?
How does the structure of a water molecule affect its properties?
Because the water molecule is bent, it is polar
Why is a structure of a molecule polar?
A water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
Could Water be a polar molecule?
Water is a polar molecule.
How to know if a substance is a polar or not?
First of all you have to draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical, it's non-polar. If the molecule is non-symmetrical or asymmetrical, then the molecule is polar.
Is hydrogen phosphate a polar molecule?
Yes, hydrogen phosphate (HPO4^2-) is a polar molecule. It contains both polar covalent bonds and an overall molecular structure that is asymmetrical, leading to an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule.
Would a molecule with polar covalent bonds be soluble in water?
Yes, in chemistry polar molecules are soluble with other polar molecules. You know that water is polar because of it's structure. Two hydrogens are bonded the an oxygen. The oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that cause the molecule to have a bent VSEPR structure. This creates a net dipole due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. Essentially, the oxygen is slightly negative and the hydrogens slightly positive. So, yes your polar molecule is soluble with water (also polar).
Is H2O a Polar molecule?
H2O is a water molecule, which is polar.
Is water non-polar?
No, water is a polar molecule. It has a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms due to differences in electronegativity, resulting in a polar overall structure.
Is pepsin polar or non polar?
Pepsin is a polar molecule due to the presence of polar peptide bonds in its structure. This allows it to interact with water molecules and other polar substances in its environment.
What is the relation of non-polar and polar in water?
In water, a polar molecule, the non-polar molecules are generally not miscible or soluble. Due to differences in polarity, they tend to separate rather than mix. This can be seen when oil, a non-polar substance, does not readily dissolve in water, a polar substance.
What does the composition of a water affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
