Polar Molecules Lab Report

Though a water molecule has an overall neutral charge, the arrangement of the molecule makes H2O a polar molecule (it has both a positive and a negative charge). The two hydrogen atoms are slightly more positive, and the oxygen atom of the molecule is a bit negative. There is a weak attraction between positively charged hydrogen atom and the negatively charged oxygen atom of the neighboring H2O molecule. This attraction is called a hydrogen bond. The polarity of the water molecule can also cause the water molecules to be attracted to another polar molecules(substances).
The attraction between the same type of molecules is cohesion. In this case, it is the attraction between water molecules that would be considered as cohesion. The cohesive
