The polarity of a water molecule
comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen
atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the
hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a
partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this
electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also, because
of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to its
polarity and bonding.
