Water is known as a polar molecule because:

1.the hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom.
2.the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
3.water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom.
4.the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity.
5.the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does.
6.water dipole moment is equal to zero.
