Water is known as a polar molecule because check all that apply. the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the
hydrogen atom does. the hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom. the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity. water dipole moment is equal to zero. the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms
<span>Water is known as a polar molecule because the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does. Oxygen is more electronegative than that of hydrogen creating a partial charges with the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Also, the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms making it polar.</span>
