the dipole charges symbol is determined by the ends of a dipole molecule for example H2O has two hydrogens and one oxygen. oxygen is taking the electrons because of its higher electronegativity giving it a negative partial charge, and that leaves the two hydrogens with a positive end and those positive ends are attracted to the negative oxygen in other molecules.
