Water is a common example of a polar molecule. A molecule is polar when the electrons tend to spend more time around one area than others. This happens when atoms on one side of the molecule are more electronegative than the others. (Atoms that are higher and farther to the right on the Periodic Table are more electronegative.)

Water is polar because both hydrogens are on one side of the oxygen, and hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen. Because of this, the hydrogen side is partially negative, while the oxygen side is partially positive.

What is the majority of negative charge on the water molecule?

there has to be a negative charge in the molecule as there is a positive charge. there is a negative charge and when it and a positive charge gets together it forms something that makes the charge neutral


Which element holds electrons more tightly in CO?

The molecule of carbon monoxide is slightly polarized; oxygen has a small positive charge and carbon has a small negative charge.


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).


Is an ion an or molecule that carries a charge?

A molecule hasn't an electrical charge. An ion has a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion).

If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?

If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!


What struggle produces the partial negative and partial positive charges on a water molecule?

The water molecule has a partial negative and partial positive charge because it is a polar molecule. Electrostatic attraction between the partial negative and partial positive molecules gives the water molecule its partial charge.
