All polar molecules have a slightly positive charge at one end and a slightly negative charge at the other. In fact, it is the definition of a polar molecule.

What type of polar molecule has a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end?

A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.


Is it polarity acidic or basic a slight negative change at one and of a molecule a slight positive charge at the other end?

The molecule you are describing is polar, with a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other end. This indicates that the molecule has both acidic and basic characteristics, making it amphoteric.


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.


What is a molecule that has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other?

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 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 has a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end?

A polar bond occur when electrons are shared unequally. However, POLAR MOLECULES are the ones that have a slight postitive charge on one end and a slight negative charge on the other end.

Why is molecule polar?

If you mean "Why is a molecule polarized" it would be because there is a more negative charge to one end of the molecule than the other.


Dipoles arise when?

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

How do polar molecules differ from non-polar molecules?

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.


What is the charge of a dipolar molecule?

actually a bipolar molecule(dipole) in isolation doesn't have any charge.But when it comes near a electropositive or electronegative element/ion it develops pseudo negative charge(for electropositive ion) or pseudo positive charge(for electronegative ion).
