..DIPOLE. And the whole molecule becomes polar due to difference in electronegativity (unequal sharing of bond electrons) of the constituent atoms causing the molecule to become unsymmetrical.

The difference between polar molecuels and nonpolar molecuels?
A polar molecule in which there is some separation of charge in the chemical bonds, so that one part of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the other a slight negative charge. A common example of polar molecule is water. The water acts as a solvent for polar molecules. A non-polar molecule has no separation of charge, so no positive or negative poles are formed.
What are water molecules polar with?
The oxygen atom has a slight negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge, because oxygen pulls on electrons harder than hydrogen does. Because the water molecule is not completely symmetric, this translates as a permanent dipole.
What is the definition of polar head?
The molecule can have an overall neutral charge, but one end is more negative and the other end is more positive. The negative end is the Polar head.
What does it mean for a water molecule to be polar?
It means there is a positive side and a negative side to it. The 2 atoms of Hydrogen in a water molecule bond asymetrically to the oxygen atom. Like this O / \ H H Instead of this way H--O--H The molecule then has a more positive charge on the Hydrogen side of the molecule and a negative charge on the Oxygen side. ( When a molecule is polar, it means that the molecule has been given a charge. In water, H2O, Oxygen has a charge and so does hydrogen. However, because there is such a large difference in electronegativity between the Oxygen and the Hydrogens, then the distribution of electrons within the molecule becomes uneven. This causes one end of the molecule to contain a slightly postive charge and the other end to possess a slightly negavtive charge. ) Hope This WiLL HeLp u !! ))
DNA molecules have what kind of charge?
DNA MOLECULES HAVE A NEGATIVE CHARGE.
What is the majority of negative charge on the water molecule?
there has to be a negative charge in the molecule as there is a positive charge. there is a negative charge and when it and a positive charge gets together it forms something that makes the charge neutral
What is the molecule with a positive and a negative area?
A zwitterion is a molecule with a positive and a negative electrical charge at different locations within that molecule.
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one and and and negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end a negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end?
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
What struggle produces the partial negative and partial positive charges on a water molecule?
The water molecule has a partial negative and partial positive charge because it is a polar molecule. Electrostatic attraction between the partial negative and partial positive molecules gives the water molecule its partial charge.
What is a molecule that has a partial positive charge on one end a partial negative charge on the other?
This is a polar molecule.
Is an ion an or molecule that carries a charge?
A molecule hasn't an electrical charge. An ion has a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion).
Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?
The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.
Is collagen positive or negative charge?
Collagen is a molecule, not an ion, hence it has no electrical charge.
Are polar bonds positive?
one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.
Will the negative or positive symbol in a molecule denote its electrical charge?
yes
