Yes, when combined with Silicon (Si), as in SiH4.
No, the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule carry a partial positive charge.
The oxygen atom is partially negative.
Hydrogen bonding. The Hydrogen atoms and slightly positive and the oxygen atoms are slightly negative due to electronegativity and the hydrogens from one water molecule is attracted the the oxygen on other molecules
No, take for example hydrochloric acid (HCl). Because the two atoms are in a covalent bond and have different electronegativities, the chlorine atom is slightly negative and the hydrogen positive respectively. Therefore, one end of the linear molecule (because two atoms are always linear) is slightly negative, and the other is slightly positive, making it a polar molecule.
Water molecules are polar because of the large electronegativity difference between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. This causes the oxygen end of the molecule to have a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen end to have a slightly positive charge.
The water molecule does not have a negative charge. The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, and tends to hold the shared electrons more tightly than the hydrogen atoms.
It consists of a slightly negative oxygen atom and 2 slightly positive hydrogen atoms

H( slightly +) attracts Cl(-) Remember water is a polar molecule having a slightly positive end ( the hydrogen end ) and a slightly negative end ( the oxygen end ) because of of the difference in the atoms electronegativity.
No, take for example hydrochloric acid (HCl). Because the two atoms are in a covalent bond and have different electronegativities, the chlorine atom is slightly negative and the hydrogen positive respectively. Therefore, one end of the linear molecule (because two atoms are always linear) is slightly negative, and the other is slightly positive, making it a polar molecule.
Hydrogen bonds are found between water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are the electrostatic attraction (i.e. attraction between a positive charge and a negative one) between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine. So in water, the attraction is between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atom. This is due to the electronegativity of oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen, which have a high electronegativity. In water, there are two bonds in each molecule, each linking one hydrogen to the oxygen atom. The electrons have less of an attraction to the hydrogen, and so the electron cloud is distorted in favour of the oxygen. So, as there are more electrons present near the oxygen relative to the hydrogen, the oxygen is more negative relative to the hydrogen, so causing polarity. Then, there is electorstatic attraction to neighbouring hydrogen or oxygen atoms.
Water molecules are polar because of the large electronegativity difference between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. This causes the oxygen end of the molecule to have a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen end to have a slightly positive charge.
Polarity. The oxygen end is slightly negative and the hydrogen end is slightly positive, thus water has all the properties we a familiar with and bonds easily and tentatively, one water molecule to the other.
The water molecule does not have a negative charge. The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, and tends to hold the shared electrons more tightly than the hydrogen atoms.
A hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms.
There are two atoms of Hydrogen in the molecule.
covalent bond
Water is not a hydrogen bond. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms covalently bonded together by the sharing of electrons. Its molecular formula is H2O. Its structural formula is H-O-H. Water is a polar molecule, which is due to the fact that the large oxygen atom has a greater attraction for the shared electrons than the smaller hydrogen atoms. This makes the oxygen end of the molecule slightly negative and the hydrogen end slightly positive. For this reason, the oxygen atom of one water molecule will form a weak bond with another water molecule's hydrogen atom. This is the hydrogen bond.

In the illustration, d+ and d- refer to the partial positive and negative charges on the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
They are not attracted to each other because one is polar and one is nonpolar.
