  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges (i.e. having partial positive and partial negative charges) from polar bonds arranged asymmetrically. Water (H 2 O) is an example of a polar molecule since it has a slight positive charge on one side and a slight negative charge on the other. The dipoles do not cancel out ...

  3. Partial charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_charge

    Partial charges are also often used for a qualitative understanding of the structure and reactivity of molecules. Occasionally, δδ+ is used to indicate a partial charge that is less positively charged than δ+ (likewise for δδ-) in cases where it is relevant to do so. [2] This can be extended to δδδ+ to indicate even weaker partial ...

    A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. ... so the oxygen atom has a negative partial charge while the hydrogen atoms are partially ...

  5. Water model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_model

    where μ is the electric dipole moment of the effectively polarized water molecule (2.35 D for the SPC/E model), μ 0 is the dipole moment of an isolated water molecule (1.85 D from experiment), and α i is an isotropic polarizability constant, with a value of 1.608 × 10 −40 F·m 2. Since the charges in the model are constant, this ...

  7. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water is the chemical substance with chemical formula H 2 O; one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. [26] Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure. Liquid water has weak absorption bands at wavelengths of around 750 nm which cause it to appear to have a blue color. [4]

  8. Inductive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_effect

    Similarly, if an atom has a positive charge and is attached to a +I group its charge becomes 'de-amplified' and the molecule becomes more stable than if the I-effect was not taken into consideration. The explanation for the above is given by the fact that more charge on an atom decreases stability and less charge on an atom increases stability.
