Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is considered a polar molecule due to its bent molecular geometry and the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and sulfur. Sulfur is more electronegative than hydrogen, creating a dipole moment where the sulfur end is slightly negative and the hydrogen ends are slightly positive. This unequal distribution of charge results in an overall polar character, allowing H₂S to interact with other polar substances and dissolve in water.
