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.

Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.

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.

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.


Gasoline is not solubal in water because gasoline is?

Gasoline is hydrophobic because the molecules are non-polar. Only polar molecules are soluble in water.


Is red 40 polar or nonpolar?

Red 40 is a polar molecule due to the presence of polar bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms. This makes the molecule soluble in water.


Is water a non polar liquid or a polar liquid?

No. It is polar. If you think about the mickey mouse ears, protons from the hydrogen atoms are on that side which makes it positively charged, and since the protons in the nucleus of the oxygen are split in half the bottom is negative.


Wax does not dissolve in water since it is wax and?

Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water molecules and does not mix with water. This is because wax molecules are non-polar, while water molecules are polar. The polar nature of water molecules makes it difficult for them to interact with non-polar molecules like wax.


What makes a water polar molecule?

The ends of the water molecule have opposite electrical charges
