Molecules that have charged ends are polar. The poles are only slightly charged, so they do not have the strength of ions, so they do not form chemical bonds with one another, however they do form weak attractions with one another. Water is the classic example of a polar molecule. The oxygen atom is larger and more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. So the oxygen end of a water molecule has a slight negative charge and the hydrogen end has a slight positive charge. The oxygen atom of one water molecule will form a weak attraction with a hydrogen atom of another water molecule. This type of attraction is called a hydrogen bond.

What are molecules that do not have opposite charged ends?

Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.


Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are what molecules?

Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.


Why do nonpolar molecules not have oppositely charged ends?

Nonpolar molecule is one which electrons are shared equally in bonds. Such a molecule does not have oppositely charged ends. This is true of molecules made from two identical atoms or molecules that are symmetric, such as CCl4.


What is it called when two identical molecules react to form two charged molecules?

autoionization


What is polar and non polar compound?

polar compounds are those which have charged ends or you can say those compound or molecules which have +ve ends and -ve ends in their structure . non polar are those which don't have any charged ends thee molecules are neutral in their configuration . polar molecules have strong force of attraction than non poalr molecules between them due to which thaey have high melting point and strength

When water molecules dissociate into two charged particles they are called?

When water molecules dissociate into two charged particles, they are called ions. Specifically, the positively charged ion is called a hydrogen ion (H+) and the negatively charged ion is called a hydroxide ion (OH-).


What molecules such as water have two opposite ends or poles like a magnet.?

When the molecules are attracted to a charged wand are they polar or nonpolar?

The molecules attracted to a charged wand are most likely polar molecules. Polar molecules have uneven distribution of charge which allows them to interact with other charged objects, such as a charged wand. Nonpolar molecules have a more symmetric charge distribution and are less likely to be attracted to a charged wand.


A restriction enzyme is likely to cut which kind of molecules?

DNA molecules. A strand of DNA molecules can be cut to have blunted ends or jagged ends (sticky ends).


How are water molecules like magnets?

water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
