What does polar mean when talking about molecules?
A
It has a positive side and a negative side.
B
Ice is less dense than water and will float.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polar Molecules: A polar molecule is usually formed when the one end of the molecule is said to possess more positive charges and whereas the opposite end of the molecule has negative charges, creating an electrical pole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polar molecules are those that possess regions of positive and negative charge. Water is an example of a polar material. The type of bonds it has, when coupled with its shape, gives one end of the molecule a slight positive charge (the hydrogen end) and the other a slight negative charge (the oxygen end).

Detailed explanation-3: -Polarity-Dipole Atoms, such as carbon and hydrogen, have a tendency to be more neutral or have partial positive charges. Electrons in a polar covalent bond are unequally shared between the two bonded atoms, which results in partial positive and negative charges.

Detailed explanation-4: -A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water is a Polar Covalent Molecule The unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles-a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side).
