Molecular Dipole Moment in Water
This water (H2O) molecule has a high density of electrons (denoted by the red shading) near the red O atom. Closer to the white H atoms, there is a low density of electrons. Therefore, the molecule is is a dipole, with negativity near the O and positivity closer to the H atoms.
