Why is water considered a polar molecule? A. The oxygen is found between the two hydrogens. B. The oxygen atom attracts the hydrogen atoms. C. Both hydrogens are at one end of the molecule, and oxygen is at the other end. D. The oxygen end of the molecule has a slight negative charge, and the hydrogen end has a slight positive charge.

what feature of a soap molecule gives it its cleaning ability? ans a,b,c or d a) a very strong electrostatic attraction from hydrogen bonding b) it has a hexagonal molecular structure, which acts as tiny brushes as the soap molecule is moved back and forth c) it has one part that is polar and is soluble in water and one part that is nonpolar and is soluble in oil d) the soap molecule adds electrons to oily dirt, which cause it to slide away.
Water is considered the solvent of life. Water's polarity makes it unique, and this polarity is responsible for the life giving properties of water. In this short essay question, answer only one of the following questions, A OR B. In your first sentence, tell me if your answer is for A or B. NOTE that saying "water is polar, so it is cohesive", or "water is polar, so it moderates temperature", or "water is polar, so is more dense as liquid", with a description of how that life giving property is beneficial to life, does NOT answer this question! You must explain, in your OWN words, HOW the polarity of the water is mechanistically responsible for the life giving property you choose. Question B: Explain in detail how the polar nature of water allows fish to survive and swim around in the watery depths of Lake Baikal, Russia, all winter long in spite of the average air temperatures of minus 25 degrees Celsius in this frozen, snow covered region.
