Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds. Due to the non-symmetrical shape of the molecule (bent), the molecule itself is polar (it has a \(\delta ...

When a charged object such as a rubber balloon is brought close to a fine stream of a polar liquid, the stream is attracted toward the electrical charge. If the same charged object is brought close to ...

Each molecule consists of a long non-polar covalent hydrocarbon ‘tail’ and a polar, ionic ‘head’ where the charge is. This structure explains the cleansing action of soap as the non-polar ...
