Answer:

Here is what i found,I hope that it helps you with your question. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is a polar molecule because the electrons of the hydrogen atoms get "pulled" towards the electrons of the oxygen atom. This makes a region of positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and the negative charge on the other end of the molecule, which is the oxygen atom. This also allows for hydrogen bonding.
