Polarity between H+ AND OH-

2006-09-20 16:45:43 · answer #1 · answered by Aizen 3 · 1 0

POLARITY

Water is formed when two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are put together by means of a covalent bond. In this molecule the electronegativity of oxygen is greater then the electronegativity of hydrogen. This means that at any given time the electrons shared are closer to the oxygen atom than to the hydrogen, thus making the oxygen atons slightly more negative and the oxygen slightly more positive. A mlecule like this one (with two different charges is known as a POLAR molucule.
Having these two chrages makes water to be able to bond )and dissolve) a broader variety of molucules, such as ionic.

Good luck!

yes polarity because of the electronegative tendencies of it's subatomic particles. The particles have an unequal charge which pulls other particles around it which make it a good medium for chemical process such as ionic and molecular compounds. It's been awhile.

Polarity. The oxygen with a plus charge and the two hydrogens with minus charges are aranged so that the positive is on one end and the negative on the other end, like a magnet. Soooo... when it comes in contact with, say, salt, NaCl, it will pull apart the two molecules with its magnetic force. Or, if you have an acid, the acid will disociate due to the H2O's pull on it.
