Question

multiple choice 1 point is water a polar or a nonpolar molecule? this is not a trick question! nonpolar molecule polar molecule dont test me yet, i am trying to gain an understanding before attempting to answer this question.

Explanation:

Water ($H_2O$) has a bent molecular - shape. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing a separation of charge. The oxygen atom has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges, resulting in a net dipole moment. So, water is a polar molecule.

Answer:

polar molecule
