    Polarity of a Water Molecule Water (H 2 O) is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen on side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bondin

    Explanation:

    The Polarity contributes with this other smart stuff.

    Answer:due to difference in electronegativty between combining element that is hydrogen which has (2.2) and oxygen (3.44) which form water on combination

    Also present of unpaired electrons in oxygen contribute to non zero depole moment (bent shape result)
