Brief Explanations
A polar molecule has regions of different charges. In water ($H_2O$), the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen. This causes the electrons to be more attracted to the oxygen, making the oxygen - end slightly negative ($\delta^-$) and the hydrogen - ends slightly positive ($\delta^+$). So, a polar molecule like water has oppositely charged ends.
