Water is a ____ molecule.
A
nonpolar
B
polar
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Water is the most polar molecule among the given molecules. This is because of the high electronegativity difference between the atoms of water (hydrogen and oxygen) and their hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-3: -A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. That’s why water is sometimes referred to as H2O. A single drop of water contains billions of water molecules.
