Why is a water molecule a polar molecule?
Different elements have different electro-negativities. Electro-negativity is the ability of an atom to withdraw 'electron density' towards itself, i.e. it makes electrons come closer to it. Fluorine...

Water molecule is called a polar molecule?
A Water Molecule has molecular 4mula "H2O". H+ & OH- are the charges on water.because of these charges,water molecule is called a polar molecule.
Explain why a water molecule has polar covalent bonds?
water has a polar covalent bond because the electrons that the hydrogen share with the oxygen hang out around the oxygen more than the hydrogen. This is because the oxygen has more protons in its...
