The water is a polar molecule because it is not equally charged. Its half side has a positive charge and the other half has a negative charge. because the electrons spend more of their time with the oxygen and not with hydrogen and due to this they get more negative charge and due to this the water is a polar molecule.

1. The water molecule is not linear.
2. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
3. As a consequence the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the molecule is polar.

What is unequal sharing of electrons within a water molecule?
water is a polar, covalent molecule. it doesn't have an unsharing molecule. its also has to do with the 8 properties of water.
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.
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 is a H20 polar molecule?
It's just regular old water. All water is polar because the molecule has a dipole.
Is dihydrogen monoxide nonpolar molecule?
Water has a polar molecule.
Could Water be a polar molecule?
Water is a polar molecule.
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
Is water a polar or nonpolar molecule?
A polar molecule
What is unequal sharing of electrons within a water molecule?

How is water a polar molecule?
Because of its shape, water is a polar molecule.
Is water the only molecule that is polar?
No, water is not the only molecule that is polar.
Is H2O a Polar molecule?
H2O is a water molecule, which is polar.
If a water molecule is neutral why does it attract polar molecules?
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
What does the composition of a water affect its charge?
It makes the molecule polar
Is Hsub2O a polar molecule or nonpolar?
I will assume Hsub2O is H2O [water] Water is a polar molecule.
Is h2o molecule polar or nonpolar?
It is polar because it is asymmetrical
Is tap water polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
