Question
water is polar, what does that mean? it is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends; it is a molecule with no charge; it is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends; it is a molecule with too many protons
A polar molecule has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other (opposite charges at opposite ends). The green option has "identical charges" (incorrect), purple has "no charge" (incorrect, water is neutral overall but has partial charges), blue has "too many protons" (incorrect). The orange option matches the definition of a polar molecule.

C. It is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends (assuming the orange option is labeled C; if labels are A - D: A. It is a molecule with identical charges on opposite ends, B. It is a molecule with no charge, C. It is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends, D. It is a molecule with too many protons → C. It is a molecule with opposite charges on opposite ends)
