Considering the atoms bonded and the shape of an H_2O molecule, is the H_2O molecule polar or non-polar? polar non-polar This is not the right answer. Do NOT click this answer!

Solution

A water molecule is polar because its O-H bonds are significantly polar and its bent geometry makes the distribution of those polar bonds asymmetrical.The side of the water molecule containing the more electronegative oxygen atom is partially negative and the side of the molecule containing the less electronegative hydrogen atoms is partially positive.
