Water molecules are polar because of the large electronegativity difference between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. This causes the oxygen end of the molecule to have a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen end to have a slightly positive charge.

If a water molecule is neutral why does it attract polar molecules?
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
Why are organic molecules that contain oxygen atoms more soluble in water?
Water is a polar molecule, polar molecules are more soluble in other polar molecules. Oxygen helps make organic molecules more polar, and therefore more soluble in water.
Do water molecules in the liquid state have more energy than water molecules in the polar state?
Do water molecules in the liquid state have more energy than water molecules in the polar state
What type of molecules mix the best with water?
Molecules that are polar(charged) dissolve best in water, while nonpolar molecules do not dissolve well in water.
What does attracted to water molecules mean?
Polar Molecules
What type of molecules dissolves in water polar or nonpolar?
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
What would mix the best with water non polar molecules polar molecules fatty molecules symmetrical molecules?
Polar molecules are mixed better with water.
If water has no net charge explain why it attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules?
Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.
Why do oil and water hate each other?
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
If a water molecule is neutral why does it attract polar molecules?
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
What polar molecules are attracted to water?
Hydrophobic molecules do not dissolve in water. This is because water is hydrophilic. Another way to say this is that lipids, which are nonpolar, cannot dissolve in water, which in polar.
how do you explain what polar molecules are?
Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.
Why do charged and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solutions?
Because water is polar, and polar solvants will dissolve polar solutes. :)
Are water molecules polar or unpolar?
They are polar
What molecule would mix best with water?
Polar Molecules
Water molecules are uncharged and?
Water molecules are uncharged and polar.
