water is a polar molecule, meaning that...
parts of the molecule are magnetic.
parts of the molecule are charged.
lots of water molecules are found in the polar regions of earth.
the molecule has a pole - like shape.
A polar molecule has a separation of electric - charge, resulting in partial positive and negative charges on different parts of the molecule. This is due to the unequal sharing of electrons in the covalent bonds within the molecule. For water ($H_2O$), oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the oxygen end to have a partial negative charge and the hydrogen ends to have partial positive charges.
