Since oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, you get something called a "dipole moment," making the oxygen slightly negative because of the unequal sharing of electrons. This makes the hydrogen slightly positive since the oxygen atom is more electronegative (I like to think of it as being "hungry for electrons"); the electrons spend more time orbiting the oxygen than they do the hydrogens. Therefore the oxygen is slightly (or delta) negative and the hydrogen, since the electrons spend less time in orbit around the hydrogen, is delta (slightly) positive since an electron has a negative charge.
O-H bonds are polar because O and H have different electronegativity values. The vector sum of the two bond dipoles is nonzero. (That is, they are not pointing in exact opposite directions.)
Because the water molecule is bent, it is polar
Water IS a polar molecule.
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.
H2O is a water molecule, which is polar.
Pepsin is a polar molecule due to the presence of polar peptide bonds in its structure. This allows it to interact with water molecules and other polar substances in its environment.

A water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

Yes, hydrogen phosphate (HPO4^2-) is a polar molecule. It contains both polar covalent bonds and an overall molecular structure that is asymmetrical, leading to an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule.
Yes, in chemistry polar molecules are soluble with other polar molecules. You know that water is polar because of it's structure. Two hydrogens are bonded the an oxygen. The oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that cause the molecule to have a bent VSEPR structure. This creates a net dipole due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. Essentially, the oxygen is slightly negative and the hydrogens slightly positive. So, yes your polar molecule is soluble with water (also polar).

No, water is a polar molecule. It has a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms due to differences in electronegativity, resulting in a polar overall structure.
