Because the eletronic charges are unevenly distributed, that's why it's called polar.

What is the difference in the strength of attractions between polar as nonpolar molecules?

No. A polar molecule (such as water) has partial positive and negative charges at each end, but these partial charges balance out to zero overall, leaving the molecule as a whole neutral. This is due to electrons being shared unevenly be the atoms in the molecule. A "charged molecule" would not be called a molecule. It would be called a polyatomic ion. A polyatomic ions has an overall net charge due to there being a different number of protons and electrons.


What is called when electrons are not shared equally in a molecule?

When electrons are not shared equally in a molecule, it is called polarization or an unequal distribution of charge. This can create regions of partial positive and negative charges within the molecule, leading to dipole moments and creating polar molecules.


What is tissue made up of elongated cells with unevenly thickened flexible walls called?

The tissue you are referring to is known as collenchyma. Collenchyma cells provide support to growing plant parts and have thickened cell walls that are not uniformly distributed, giving them flexibility.


A molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?

This describes a polar molecule, which has a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other due to an uneven distribution of electrons. Water is an example of a polar molecule, with the oxygen end being slightly negative and the hydrogen ends being slightly positive.


A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges is called a what molecule.?

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.

The separation of charges within a molecule is called polarity. It occurs when the electrons are not shared equally between the atoms, leading to a partial positive and partial negative charge within the molecule.

Describes a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends?

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.

Electrons are distributed evenly over an molecule?

In a molecule, electrons are not evenly distributed; they are typically found around the atomic nuclei in specific regions called electron clouds. These electron clouds are influenced by the presence of other atoms and their nuclei within the molecule, leading to areas of higher and lower electron density. This uneven distribution of electrons forms the basis of chemical bonding and reactivity in molecules.

A mixture that has different materials that are spread out unevenly is called what?

A "heterogeneous mixture", which alternatively be called an "inhomogeneous" mixture.


What kind mixture of sand and water?

heterogeneous or you can say solute and solventA mixture is some combination of substances combined physically. A mixture is said to be heterogeneous if the different parts are visible or unevenly distributed, such as when sand is mixed with water.A mixture of sand and water is called a heterogeneousmixture
