HCl has a single bond in between hydrogen and chlorine. Hydrogen's one and only electron is tied up in that bond. Chlorine's other 6 valence electrons are on that side due to chlorine's high electronegativity. So, the chlorine side will be negative and the hydrogen side will be positive. This makes HCl a highly polar molecule.
In the HBr molecule, the hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge (+δ) due to its low electronegativity compared to bromine. The bromine atom has a partial negative charge (-δ) because it is more electronegative and attracts the shared electrons more strongly, resulting in an uneven distribution of electron density in the molecule.
Both. One side is positive while the other is negative. Taking H2O as an example, the hydrogen molecule pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, and further away from the two Oxygen molecules. This gives the Oxygen side of the H2O molecule a positive charge and the Hydrogen side a negative charge.

Unequal sharing of electrons in a water molecule causes the molecule to be polar.
Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a slightly positive charge on one side (hydrogen) and a slightly negative charge on the other side (oxygen). This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules, resulting in unique properties like high surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion.
In the HBr molecule, the hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge (+δ) due to its low electronegativity compared to bromine. The bromine atom has a partial negative charge (-δ) because it is more electronegative and attracts the shared electrons more strongly, resulting in an uneven distribution of electron density in the molecule.
Water is considered a polar molecule because it has a slightly positive charge on one side and a slightly negative charge on the other side, due to the uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the molecule.
an example would be an O2 that meets water. The electrons in the O2 molecule all move to the opposite side of each atom, away from the negatively charged Oxygen in H2O, thus leaving a slightly negative charge on the side away from the H2O molecule and a slightly positive charge towards the H2O molecule. The positive attract the negative electrons in the water.
A water molecule is polar because it has a slight negative charge near the oxygen atom and slight positive charges near the hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other, resulting in properties like high surface tension and the ability to dissolve many substances.
The hydrogen side of a water molecule is positively charged. This is because the oxygen atom in water is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the electrons to be closer to oxygen, leaving the hydrogen atoms with a slight positive charge.
Polar molecules have positive charge on one side and negative charge on other side. Non polar molecules have covalent bond and do not have positive and negative charge on one or other side of the molecule.
The water molecule (H2O) is not exactly spherical; it has a bent molecular geometry due to the arrangement of its atoms. The oxygen atom in the water molecule attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms, causing a slight negative charge on the oxygen side and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen side, giving it a polar shape.
A polar molecule, like water, is one that has a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other. A non-polar molecule, like a lipid, is one that has a neutral charge throughout.
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.
Induced dipole forces result when an ion or a dipole induces a dipole in an atom or a molecule with no dipole. These are weak forces. An ion-induced dipole attraction is a weak attraction that results when the approach of an ion induces a dipole in an atom or in a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the nonpolar species. A dipole-induced dipole attraction is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in an atom or in a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the nonpolar species.
In a molecule of water, you have a bunch of unshared electrons on the oxygen side of the molecule (the negative end) and no electrons and two hydrogen nuclei on the hydrogen end (the positive end.) This makes for very strong polarity, since a positive end and a negative end can be thought of as poles. Fluorine, on the other hand, is a diatomic element consisting of two fluorine atoms covalently bonded together. This means each of the two fluorine atoms contribute one electron to the bond. The remaining six from each atom are on the other side of the molecule from the bond. Six on one side and six on the other means no difference in charge across the length of the molecule, so there are no poles.
