Why is water considered to be neutral but have slight charges in different parts of molecule?
Water is considered neutral because it has a balanced number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, resulting in no overall charge. However, its molecular structure leads to polar covalent bonds, where oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing a slight negative charge near the oxygen atom and slight positive charges near the hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows water molecules to interact with each other and other substances, contributing to its unique properties. As a result, while water is neutral overall, it exhibits localized charge differences due to its molecular arrangement.
What else can I help you with?
What is an internal salt?
This is an another name (rare) for zwitterion: a neutral molecule containing inside positive and negative charges in different locations.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?
It is because it has positive charges (from 2 H) and negative charges (from O), that the charges balance out (negative + positive = neutral) (2H+) + (O2-) -----> H2O
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 are the differences between molecule and molecular ion?
A molecular ion is a type of ion that either has less or more electrons than it has protons. A polar molecule is a molecule that has positive charges near its center and negative charges outside that center.
What is a neutral particle that forms as a result of electron sharing?
A neutral particle formed when atoms share electrons?
What is the overall charges on water molecule?
Neutral.

Why is a water molecule neutral?
The opposite charges of oxygen and hydrogen are neutralized.
How can water be a neutral molecule but still have positive and negative chargers on it?

What has a slightly negative end although the overall molecule is neutral?
A polar molecule, such as water, has a slightly negative end due to the unequal distribution of electrons between different atoms in the molecule. The overall charge of the molecule, however, remains neutral because the positive and negative charges balance each other out.
What is the overall charge on a water molecule?
It's not an ionic compound.
What do you use to balance charges when writing a molecule's formula?
You use subscripts to balance charges when writing a molecule's formula. Subscripts are used to indicate the number of each type of atom in the molecule, ensuring that the charges add up to zero.
What has the equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
An object with equal numbers of positive and negative charges is electrically neutral. This balance means that the positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons) cancel each other out, resulting in no net electric charge. Examples include a neutral atom or a neutral molecule, where the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
What do you call matter that has a balance of positive and negative charges?
Neutral charges
What do you call to the object that has an equal numbers of positive and negative charge?
An object that has equal numbers of positive and negative charges is called electrically neutral. This means that the overall charge of the object is zero, as the positive and negative charges cancel each other out. Examples include a neutral atom or a neutral molecule.
Molecules with partial charges?
Atoms are considered to be neutral with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. If an atom takes on extra electron(s) it becomes negativelly charged and is termed an ion or more specifically an anion to distinguishi it from positively charged ions.
Does h2 have a net charge?
No, h2 does not have a net charge. It is a neutral molecule.
