∙ 10y agoWater is polar because of the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen. The highly electronegative oxygen atom attracts electrons or negative charge to it, making the region around the oxygen more negative than the areas around the two hydrogen atoms.

∙ 14y agoYes, the properties of water are due to the polarity of the water molecule. water is cohesive because the Hydrogen end of the water molecule is attracted to the Oxygen end of other molecules.

Which property of water is created by the fact that opposite sides of the water molecule have opposite electric charges?
This is the polarity of the water molecule.
How does a drawing of polarity water and the bond polarities make a major contribution to the overall molecular polarity look?
The polarity is a vector quantity. The resultant of the polarity of bonds determines the polarity of the molecule. In CO2 there is polarity between the two C-O but the polarity is equal and opposite in direction so CO2 doesn't have polarity. If the polarity of bonds is not cancelled then the polarity remains in the molecule.
What is a shorter answer for what causes polarity in a water molecule?
asymmetrical charge distribution
What is the basis for the unique properties that are attributed to the water molecule?
Its structure
What contributes to the polarity of a water molecule?
This is the difference of electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen.
Why is water versatile molecules?
Water is a versatile molecule because of its polarity.
What property of water is attributed to it polarity?
You really should go read the textbook.
Which property of water is created by the fact that opposite sides of the water molecule have opposite electric charges?
This is the polarity of the water molecule.
How does the polarity of water molecules make water an effective solvent?
The polarity of the water molecule is what makes water a great solvent. It called the universal solvent.
The unequal sharing of electrons in a molecule of water is an example of?
polarity
What causes the polarity of a water molecule?
the unequal sharing of electrons
How does water become polar molecule?
becase of the polarity in water it is ver soluble

Which property of water is likely the most significant in water's role as a universal solvent?
The property of water that has made it such an effective solvent is the polarity of the molecule. It is highly polar.
What is a shorter answer for what causes polarity in a water molecule?
asymmetrical charge distribution
What property of water causes many of its properties?
The polarity of the water molecule is responsible for most of water's properties.
What is the basis for the unique properties that are attributed to the water molecule?
Its structure
