In chemistry, a polar bond is a type of bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally. Because of this, one end of the bond has a fractional negative while the other is positive.

Advantages of a polar water molecule?
It makes the water better than normal water.
Is a sunscreen molecule polar or nonpolar?
Sunscreen is non polar since it does not wipe off when you enter the water so that makes it non polar
What makes a solvent polar?
A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.
How does the difference between polar and nonpolar molecules affect their interactions?
it makes them dissolve in water easier.
How can water dissolve ionic compounds and covelent compounds?
Water is a good solvent because it has polar -O-H groups and the same reason makes water a good solvent for polar compounds as acetic acid and hydrochloric acid. Water is not a good solvent for non polar compounds such as bromine and iodine.
What does the composition of a water affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
Is butane polar?
Yes, t-butanol is a polar substance. All alcohols have a group of hydroxyl that makes them polar and makes them soluble in water.
Advantages of a polar water molecule?
It makes the water better than normal water.
What are the property of water that makes it the universal solvent?
its polar nature
Can polar bears sleep while afloat in the water?
No, there is no evidence that polar bears sleep in the water. A sea otter can sleep on water, floating on its back, but a polar bear's body density makes this impossible.
Why are most simple carbohydrates soluble in water and insoluble in liquids such as hexane?
Because water is polar and hexane is non polar which makes it insoluble
Is a sunscreen molecule polar or nonpolar?
Sunscreen is non polar since it does not wipe off when you enter the water so that makes it non polar
How does the composition of a water molecule affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
How does the composition of a water molecule affect the charge?
It makes the molecule polar
How do the polar water molecules?
This question makes no sense. if you mean 'how are water molecules polar' it is because the charge between oxygen and hydrogen is not completely cancelled out.
Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?
The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.
What makes a solvent polar?
A solvent is polar if its molecules contain highly polar covalent bonds, for example water, or ionic bonds, for example molten salt.
