Question
Why is water a polar molecule?
Open in App
Solution
Explanation:
Water (H2O2) is a polar molecule because the electrons of the hydrogen atoms get "pulled" towards the electrons of the oxygen atoms. This makes a region of positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and the negative charge on the other end of the molecule, which is the oxygen atom.
