What makes molecules polar: an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

- So, a water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

- Water has a neutral charge.

- Because of their partial positive and negative charges, polar molecules, such as water, attract each other like magnets.

- The attraction between a hydrogen atom with a partial negative charge and another atom with a partial positive charge is called a hydrogen bond.

- Because water is a polar molecule, it is able to form multiple hydrogen bonds, which is why water has many special properties (hydrogen bonds are the strongest bonds that can form between molecules).
