Water molecules are not spherical, they are V shaped with an Oxygen in the center and a Hydrogen atom on each side of it.
configuration of water molecule
Water IS a polar molecule.
Water molecule is an important and good example of polar covalent molecule
Because of its shape, water is a polar molecule.
No, water is not the only molecule that is polar.
Ammonia molecule is not spherical but triangular pyramidal in shape. Hence it is not possible to tell its shape.
Water has very unique physical properties; most of them brought on by the hydrogen bonding within water. Water is strongly polar, meaning the water molecule has a distinct positive end and negative end, caused by unshared electrons on one side of the molecule. This causes the positive end of one water molecule to be attracted to the negative end of another water molecule. This inter-molecular attraction gives water surface tension, explains why water sticks to the sides of containers, forms spherical droplets, expands when it freezes, and is why snowflakes are six-sided.
Water droplet is spherical when water is thrown in air because of surface tension in water molecules which forces it to assume the smallest shape possible.

Unequal sharing of electrons in a water molecule causes the molecule to be polar.

water is a polar, covalent molecule. it doesn't have an unsharing molecule. its also has to do with the 8 properties of water.
The molecule of water has the chemical formula H2O.
Because of its shape, water is a polar molecule.
