What is a molecule whose end have opposite electric charges is called what?
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.
Describes a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?
A molecule with opposite charges at opposite ends is said to be a polar molecule. All such molecules are water soluble.
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.
The equal but opposite charges present in the two regions of a polar molecule create?
a Dipole
Is a polar molecule is a molecule with the ability to resists changes in temperature?
A polar molecule is a molecule with slight opposite charges. Water is a polar molecule which means that each water molecule is attracted to other water molecules which accounts for waters surface tension or cohesion.
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called what?
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a polar molecule.
What molecule is a molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges?
If a molecule has ends with opposite charges, it is usually referred to as a dipole, or polar.
What molecule in which opposite ends have opposite electric charges?
polar

What principle do scientist rely on in the latest model?
that opposite electric charges attract that opposite electric charges attract

Does a polar molecule have both unequal and equal charges?
It has two opposite charges
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a what molecule.?
A polar molecule has regions of opposing charge. For example in water the hydrogen are in a relatively positive area, as compared to the highly electronegative oxygen. The bent or L-shape to water is because of this polarity.
Why is a water molecule neutral?
The opposite charges of oxygen and hydrogen are neutralized.
