Water molecules are polar For reasons we won't getting into here, an oxygen atom has two bonding sites that are fairly close to one another. Thus when two H atoms bond to O to form a water molecule, the entire water molecule is BENT like the letter "V". Where are most of the electrons: near the oxygen or near the hydrogens? The whole water molecule is polar with a partially positive pole and a partially negative pole, like a little magnet. On the ball-and-stick model to the right, label the partially positive atoms, and the partially negative one.

Water molecules are polar • For reasons we won't getting into here, an oxygen atom has two bonding sites that are fairly close to one another. Thus when two H atoms bond to O to form a water molecule, the entire water molecule is BENT like the letter “V". • Where are most of the electrons: near the oxygen or near the hydrogens? The whole water molecule is polar with a partially positive pole and a partially negative pole, like a little magnet. On the ball-and-stick model to the right, label the partially positive atoms, and the partially negative one.
