A polar molecule. The charges are signified using δ± (delta meaning a difference or change, lowercase meaning it is a small difference, the ± denoting whether that end is positive or negative).

If the same molecule contains both positively and negatively charged groups, it's called a zwitterion.
A molecule having both slightly negative and positive ends is a polar molecule.

When a molecule has a positive end and a negative end it is called?

Molecules that have partially positive and negative regions are called polar molecules. Polarity results from an unequal attraction of electrons between the atoms that make up a molecule. The electrons are more drawn towards atoms with a higher electronegativity, thus making these atoms partially negative.


Which end of the water molecule is attracted to the sodium ion?

Since water is a slightly polar molecule (the hydrogen end being slightly positive and the oxygen ends being slightly negative) the positively charged sodium ion (Na+) will be attracted to the oxygen end of the water molecule.


Which end of water molecule acts negative?

Slightly negative. The oxygen end of the water molecule is slightly negative because of oxygen's greater electronegativity. The two electrons of the hydrogens in covalent bonding spend more of their time in oxygen's valance shell.


What parts of the calcium chloride are attracted to what parts of the water molecule?

The positive calcium ions in calcium chloride are attracted to the negative oxygen atom in the water molecule, while the negative chloride ions are attracted to the positive hydrogen atoms in the water molecule.


What is it called when positive and negative charges transmit energy?

Because in an unbalanced system, the positive end a positive charge, and the negaticve end has a negative charge. Though current (which is reletive to the "positiveness" of an area) flows from positive to negative, electrons flow from negative to positive.

A molecule having slightly negative and positive ends with regard to change?

A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative. A diatomic molecule that consists of a polar covalent bond, such as HF, is a polar molecule.


What is an example of polar molecule?

water - having a slightly negative charge on the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge on the Hydrogen end.


Can you explain what a polar molecule is and provide an example?

A polar molecule is a molecule with an uneven distribution of charge, resulting in one end being slightly positive and the other end being slightly negative. This separation of charge creates a dipole moment. An example of a polar molecule is water (H2O), where the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, causing the oxygen end to be slightly negative and the hydrogen end to be slightly positive.

What is the polar molecule of water?

Water molecules are slightly positive on the hydrogen end (the mickey ears) and slightly negative on the oxygen end (the mickey head).


If water can dissolves a wide variety substance therefore it is?

Polar. Even though a water molecule has no overall charge, it has a slightly negative end and a slightly positive end.


What is a molecule whose end have opposite electric charges is called what?

Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.


What has a slightly negative end although the overall molecule is neutral?

A polar molecule, such as water, has a slightly negative end due to the unequal distribution of electrons between different atoms in the molecule. The overall charge of the molecule, however, remains neutral because the positive and negative charges balance each other out.


What molecule that has one end sightly negative and the other end sightly positive?

A molecule that has one end slightly negative and the other end slightly positive is called a polar molecule. This occurs due to the uneven distribution of electrons, often resulting from differences in electronegativity between atoms. A common example of a polar molecule is water (H₂O), where the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges. This polar nature allows for unique interactions, such as hydrogen bonding.


What type of polar molecule has a postitive charge at one end in an negative charge at the other end?

A molecule that exhibits this type of polarity is called a dipole molecule. Dipole molecules have an uneven distribution of electrical charge, resulting in a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other. This separation of charge creates a dipole moment in the molecule.


What molecule has a positive end and negative end?

A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.
