Water molecules are polar, which means that one part of the molecule has a positive charge and the other has a negative charge just like the polar ends of a magnet.

Each water molecule is polar, meaning it has a positive end (hydrogen) and a negative end (oxygen). This polarity causes water molecules to attract each other and form hydrogen bonds, creating a slight magnet-like effect where water molecules are attracted to one another.
A water molecule is like a magnet in that it has a positive and negative charge distribution. The oxygen atom in water has a slightly negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge, creating a polar molecule. This polarity allows water molecules to attract each other and form hydrogen bonds.
A molecule of water (H2O) is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen atom forms a covalent bond with each of the hydrogen atoms to create the water molecule.
One molecule of water (H2O) contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
There are two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen in one molecule of water.
A molecule with opposite charge on each end is called a polar molecule. Examples include water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3).
