Describe what is meant when water is called a polar molecule
Answered by admin @
Answer:
Water is made up of the hydrogen and oxygen element in the ratio of 1:2. Water is the universal solvent that has the ability to dissolve almost all the substances. Water has the bent V shape.
Hydrogen is a polar solvent as it contains the oxygen, more electronegative element oxygen. Hydrogen is the electropositive element. The electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen makes hydrogen slightly positively and oxygen slightly negatively charged. The polarity of water molecule makes it a polar molecule.
