And if we add up these two vectors, then the net result will be a vector, an electric dipole moment that will point beginning here and will point this way, as shown by the following green arrow. So this green arrow basically describes the direction of our net electric dipole moment of this water molecule. So the fact that water is polar simply means it has an electric dipole moment. And what that means is there is an unequal and asymmetric distribution of electron density. And that gives the oxygen a partial negative charge and these h atoms a partial positive charge. Now, let's move on to the second property of water, its ability to basically form strong intermolecular bonds with other water molecules.
