Question

is water polar or non - polar

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Water (\(H_2O\)) has a bent molecular shape. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. This causes a separation of charge, with oxygen having a partial negative charge (\(\delta -\)) and hydrogens having partial positive charges (\(\delta +\)). The molecule has a net dipole moment due to this uneven charge distribution.

Answer:

Polar
