It is called polar
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.
First of all you have to draw the Lewis dot structure of the molecule. If the molecule is symmetrical, it's non-polar. If the molecule is non-symmetrical or asymmetrical, then the molecule is polar.
In geography, polar refers to regions near the Earth's poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. These areas are characterized by extremely cold temperatures, ice caps, and unique ecosystems adapted to the cold climate.
The opposite of "present" that ends in "ent" is "absent."
Water (H2O) is a polar molecule due to its bent molecular shape and unequal sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, resulting in a partial negative charge on the oxygen end and partial positive charges on the hydrogen ends.
If a molecule has ends with opposite charges, it is usually referred to as a dipole, or polar.
A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a polar molecule.

Polar
A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends is called a polar molecule. This occurs when there is an unequal distribution of electrons, leading to regions of positive and negative charge. Water (H2O) is a common example of a polar molecule with oxygen carrying a partial negative charge and hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge.
the ends of the water molecule have opposite electrical charges
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.
Such a molecule is said to have an electric dipole.

The ends of the water molecule have opposite electrical charges
Two ends (poles).
It has two opposite charges
