one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
water - having a slightly negative charge on the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge on the Hydrogen end.
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
Salt disassociates in water because hydrogen molecules are slightly positive charge and pulls away the chloride ions (a negative charge ion) and the oxygen molecules are slightly negative charge and will attract the sodium ions (a positive charge ion) dissolving the sodium chloride into the water.
Electrons have a negative charge; Protons have a positive charge; and neutrons have no charge.

water - having a slightly negative charge on the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge on the Hydrogen end.
The net charge is the sum of all individual charges. If one charge is slightly positive and the other charge is slightly negative, the overall charge will be neutral.
The fact that oxygen has a slightly negative charge and the hydrogens have a slightly positive charge makes the moluecule slightly polar, because its slightly unbalanced.
All polar molecules have a slightly positive charge at one end and a slightly negative charge at the other. In fact, it is the definition of a polar molecule.
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
A cation has a positive charge and an anion has a negative charge.
Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.
Salt disassociates in water because hydrogen molecules are slightly positive charge and pulls away the chloride ions (a negative charge ion) and the oxygen molecules are slightly negative charge and will attract the sodium ions (a positive charge ion) dissolving the sodium chloride into the water.
positive ions carry positive charge and negative ions carry negative charge
Electrons have a negative charge; Protons have a positive charge; and neutrons have no charge.
An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
