A polar molecule doesn't necessarily have any overall charge. All polar means is that one part of the molecule has a negative charge and another part of the same molecule has a positive charge. These charges balance. When the charges don't balance and there is a net charge, it is referred to as an ion. An example of a polar molecule is fluoro-methane, or CH3F. The fluorine attracts the electrons in the bond a lot harder than carbon. so the fluorine has a negative charge while the carbon atom ends up with a positive charge.
A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends is called a polar molecule. This occurs when there is an unequal distribution of electrons, leading to regions of positive and negative charge. Water (H2O) is a common example of a polar molecule with oxygen carrying a partial negative charge and hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge.
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.
A polar compound is a molecule that has an uneven distribution of electrons, resulting in partial positive and negative charges within the molecule. This creates a separation of charge, making the molecule have both a positive and negative end, and enabling it to interact with other polar molecules through dipole-dipole interactions. Water is a common example of a polar compound.
A polar molecule has positive and negative ends due to an unequal distribution of electron density within the molecule. This occurs when the electrons are unequally shared between the atoms forming the molecule, creating partial positive and negative charges at different ends of the molecule.
"A type of covalent bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally" In water you have dissociation into H+ and OH-. However in terms of polar and non polar, the key thing is that You have an oxygen there (specifically OH), and no hydrocarbon backbone that would make it non-polar
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a polar molecule.
If a molecule has ends with opposite charges, it is usually referred to as a dipole, or polar.

Polar
the ends of the water molecule have opposite electrical charges
The ends of the water molecule have opposite electrical charges
This describes a polar molecule, which has a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other due to an uneven distribution of electrons. Water is an example of a polar molecule, with the oxygen end being slightly negative and the hydrogen ends being slightly positive.
Two ends (poles).
A polar molecule has regions of opposing charge. For example in water the hydrogen are in a relatively positive area, as compared to the highly electronegative oxygen. The bent or L-shape to water is because of this polarity.
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.
First of all you have to draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical, it's non-polar. If the molecule is non-symmetrical or asymmetrical, then the molecule is polar.
