Answer #1

Atom is electrically neutral. An atom consists of electrons and equal number of protons. For example, if in an atom there are 2 electrons then there will be 2 protons only to make it neutral ( 2 positive and 2 negative charge).  

But if we remove 1 electron from this atom, then there will be 1 electron for 2 protons. So number of positive charge will increase and atom will then behave as positive charged ion.

To ans 2nd part:

water is polar in nature. In H2O, oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the electrostatic force will generate between hydrogen and oxygen. Another factor is the geometry of water molecule which is bent and which means polarity of the bonds adds together. so net result will be polar bonds.
