What is an internal salt?
This is an another name (rare) for zwitterion: a neutral molecule containing inside positive and negative charges in different locations.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
What is the difference in the strength of attractions between polar as nonpolar molecules?
No. A polar molecule (such as water) has partial positive and negative charges at each end, but these partial charges balance out to zero overall, leaving the molecule as a whole neutral. This is due to electrons being shared unevenly be the atoms in the molecule. A "charged molecule" would not be called a molecule. It would be called a polyatomic ion. A polyatomic ions has an overall net charge due to there being a different number of protons and electrons.
What is a neutral particle that forms as a result of electron sharing?
A neutral particle formed when atoms share electrons?
Is paracetamol a neutral molecule?
Yes.
What is the overall charges on water molecule?
Neutral.

Why is a water molecule neutral?
The opposite charges of oxygen and hydrogen are neutralized.
What do you use to balance charges when writing a molecule's formula?
Because the chemical formula of the molecule must be neutral.

What is the overall charge on a water molecule?
It's not an ionic compound.
Why is each ionic compound considered to be electrically neutral?
Because the total number of positive charges and negative charges are equal.
Molecules with partial charges?
Atoms are considered to be neutral with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. If an atom takes on extra electron(s) it becomes negativelly charged and is termed an ion or more specifically an anion to distinguishi it from positively charged ions.
What do you call matter that has a balance of positive and negative charges?
Neutral charges
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if is has an equal number of protons and electrons. The charges inside the atom cancel each other, making it neutral.
Does h2 have a net charge?
No, h2 does not have a net charge. It is a neutral molecule.
What are the three charges?
The three charges are: POSITIVE,NEGATIVE, AND NEUTRAL
