Water has a negative end and a positive end because of differences in electronegativity of the elements that make up water. Waters molecular formula is H2O. Hydrogen is a very electron poor element, with only 1! Oxygen, on the other hand, is a more electron rich element with 6 electrons. This makes oxygen much more electronegative than hydrogen. Because of this difference, water molecules are polar, meaning they are very negative on one point, and very positive on another.
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 zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
To my knowledge, it is a polar molecule. Hope this helps, let me know if I'm wrong :)

H2o
A zwitterion, if you mean formal charges. If you just mean relatively positive and negative, then a polar molecule.

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.
yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule
A zwitterion has a formal positive charge at one end of the molecule and a negative one at the other end.
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.
yes. the positive end of the molecule attracts the negative end of the adjacent molecule
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.
