Why is water considered a polar molecule? The molecule has no overall charge. The oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons equally. The atoms in the molecule have partial charges. The molecule can only attract positive charges

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

Water is a "polar" molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electron density. Water has a partial negative charge ( ) near the oxygen atom due the unshared pairs of electrons, and partial positive charges ( ) near the hydrogen atoms.
