Water or H2O is a polar molecule because the Oxygen draws the Hydrogen's electrons closer to itself so the oxygen is more negative and the hydrogen's are more positive - O H H + +
the oxygen atom is much more electronegative than the hydrogens, meaning that it draws the electrons toward it more than the h's do. this causes a dipole moment, meaning that the molecule, even...
The fact that oxygen has a slightly negative charge and the hydrogens have a slightly positive charge makes the moluecule slightly polar, because its slightly unbalanced.
Water molecules contain two polar ends known as dipoles which are caused by the atoms that make up water. The chemical composition of water is H20 meaning that there are 2 hydrogen atoms bound to one...
