This video explains why water molecules are polar, emphasizing the electronegativity difference between the atoms in the water molecule. #WaterScience #MolecularPolarity ...

Computational analysis has revealed that diatomic molecules with two metal atoms of similar electronegativities can have a much greater dipole moment than those conventionally thought of as polar.
