The bent geometry of water molecule gives a slight overall negative charge to the side of the oxygen atom and a slight overall positive charge to the side of the hydrogen atom. This slight separation of charge gives the entire molecule an electrical polarity so water molecules are dipolar. 4. How does hydrogen bonding produce the surface
