A polar molecule...such as water. The oxygen molecules pulls the electrons closer, causing the oxygen to have a more negative charge and the two hydrogen atoms to have more positive charges. this is very important in the bonding of water molecules to other water molecules.

What charges does a polar molecule have on opposite ends?

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.


Describes a molecule in which the positive and negative charges are separated?

It sounds like ionic is the term you're looking for.


What is something that forms a attraction between a hydrogen molecules with apartial positive charge and another atom or molecule with a partial or fuol negative charge?

Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge and an atom or molecule with a partial or full negative charge. This attraction is due to the electrostatic force between the positive and negative charges, resulting in a relatively strong intermolecular force.


What does it mean to be a polar compound?

A polar compound is a molecule in which there is an uneven distribution of electron density, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge within the molecule. This charge separation leads to the molecule having a positive and negative end, making it interact with other polar molecules or ions, such as water.


What is the molecule with a positive and a negative area?

A water molecule has a positive area near the hydrogen atoms (due to partial positive charges) and a negative area near the oxygen atom (due to partial negative charges). This is because of the unequal sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water.

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.


Which water molecule has a partial positive charge?

In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen, pulling electron density towards itself and creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.


What is positively and negatively charged in a water molecule?

it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive


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.


Dipoles arise when?

One end of a molecule or atom has a partial negative charge and the other end has a partial positive charge.


A polar molecule has a partial positive side and partial negative side true or false?

True. A polar molecule has regions of positive and negative charge due to an uneven distribution of electrons, leading to a separation of charges within the molecule. This creates a partial positive side and a partial negative side.

A polar molecule has a partial positive side and a partial negative side?

Yes, that's correct. A polar molecule has an uneven distribution of electrons, leading to regions of partial positive and partial negative charge. This occurs when there is a difference in electronegativity between the atoms within the molecule.

What is molar polarisation?

Molar polarisation is the separation of positive and negative charges within a molecule or ion due to differences in electronegativity or other factors. This can result in a molecule having a partial positive and partial negative charge, making it polar.
