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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

A polar molecule is one that has a negative and positive end due to an uneven distribution of electron density. Water is a common example of a polar molecule, with its oxygen atom being partially negative and its hydrogen atoms being partially positive.
A polar molecule such as water
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one 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.
yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule
yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.
Polarity refers to the positive or negative charge of a molecule or its parts. In chemistry, it describes the separation of charge in a molecule that has areas of differing electronegativity. A polar molecule has a positive end and a negative end.
