Water is a polar molecule because it has a bent shape with oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogen, creating an uneven distribution of charge. This results in a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms, making water a polar molecule.

Is water a polar or nonpolar molecule?

Water is a polar molecule because it has a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms due to differences in electronegativity. This unequal sharing of electrons gives water a polarity, making it a polar molecule.
