A water molecule, because of its shape, is a polar molecule. That is, it has one side that is positively charged and one side that is negatively charged. The molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The bonds between the atoms are called covalent bonds, because the atoms share electrons.

Answer:
The electron cloud model can show an unequal sharing of electrons. Point out that the electron cloud around the oxygen is darker than the electron cloud around the hydrogen. This shows that electrons are more attracted to the oxygen end of the molecule than the hydrogen end, making the water molecule polar.
