Answer:

The reason why Water is considered a polar molecule is because of Unequal sharing of electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

This makes the oxygen end of the molecule slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen end as much, that end is slightly positive. When a covalent bonded molecule has more electrons in one area than another, it is called a polar molecule.
