Detailed explanation-1: -Water (H2O), like hydrogen fluoride (HF), is a polar covalent molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water (H2O) is a polar molecule because the electrons of the hydrogen atoms get “pulled” towards the electrons of the oxygen atom. This makes a region of positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and the negative charge on the other end of the molecule, which is the oxygen atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water is a polar molecule. While the overall charge of the molecule is neutral, the orientation of the two positively charged hydrogens (+1 each) at one end and the negatively charged oxygen (-2) at the other end give it two poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polar species are soluble in water, while nonpolar species are soluble in oils and fats. Covalent solubility uses the like dissolves like rule. This means that substances with the same type of polarity will be soluble in one another.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water is a bent molecule because of the two lone pairs on the central oxygen atom. The individual dipoles point from the H atoms toward the O atom. Because of the shape, the dipoles do not cancel each other out and the water molecule is polar.
