Does h2 have a net charge?
No, h2 does not have a net charge. It is a neutral molecule.
What is true of the bonds in a water molecule?
Oxygen holds electrons more tightly than hydrogen does, and the net charge is zero
What is the net charge of o?
An Oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 electrons 1 Proton = +1 8 protons = +8 1 electron = -1 8 electrons = -8 Net charge = 0 Oxygen ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons 8 protons = +8 8 electrons = -10 Net charge = -2
What does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have charge?
The oxygen in a water molecule doesn't really have a "charge" per se. It is partially negative relative to the hydrogen atoms which are partially positive. The oxidation number of oxygen in water is 2-, however, but this isn't really a "charge".
Is a molecule of dissimilar elements with a net charge remaining is called a polyatomic ion?
true
Does h2 have a net charge?
No, h2 does not have a net charge. It is a neutral molecule.
What is the charge of water in a molecule?
It is net neutral but the oxygen carries a delta negative charge and the hydrogens delta positives so it is polar
What is true of the bonds in a water molecule?
Oxygen holds electrons more tightly than hydrogen does, and the net charge is zero
What is positively and negatively charged in a water molecule?
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
WHAT causes a molecule to have a dipole moment?
the presence of a net charge that does not cancel out
What is the net charge of o?
An Oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 electrons 1 Proton = +1 8 protons = +8 1 electron = -1 8 electrons = -8 Net charge = 0 Oxygen ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons 8 protons = +8 8 electrons = -10 Net charge = -2

What does it mean for a water molecule to be polar?
It means there is a positive side and a negative side to it. The 2 atoms of Hydrogen in a water molecule bond asymetrically to the oxygen atom. Like this O / \ H H Instead of this way H--O--H The molecule then has a more positive charge on the Hydrogen side of the molecule and a negative charge on the Oxygen side. ( When a molecule is polar, it means that the molecule has been given a charge. In water, H2O, Oxygen has a charge and so does hydrogen. However, because there is such a large difference in electronegativity between the Oxygen and the Hydrogens, then the distribution of electrons within the molecule becomes uneven. This causes one end of the molecule to contain a slightly postive charge and the other end to possess a slightly negavtive charge. ) Hope This WiLL HeLp u !! ))
Is a molecule of dissimilar elements with a net charge remaining is called a polyatomic ion?
true
What causes the water molecule to have a negative 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.
Which kind of elctrical charge if found on the oxygen atom of a polar water molecule?
a partially negative charge.
Why does the oxygen in a water molecule have a negative charge?
Oxygen attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen does.
