A polar molecule has two poles, which are the positive pole and the negative pole. This comes about because the different atoms in the molecule have different degrees of attraction for electrons, and the shared electron cloud therefore is denser in some locations than in others. To give the best known example, water is a polar molecule. It is slightly negatively charged where the oxygen atom is, and slightly positively charged where the two hydrogen atoms are.
