∙ 12y agoThey are negative. The H molecules are slightly positive. They get this way because of the "electronegativity" of oxygen.

What part of a water molecule is negative?
oxygen atoms are partially negatively charged
If such an ion is negatively charged and includes one or more oxygen atoms is called?
Anion
What would happen when caesium chloride is added with water?
It dissolves and therefore appears colourless because the positively charged ions, (Cs+) will be attracted to the negatively charged oxygen atoms in water, and the negatively charged ions (Cl-) will be attracted to the slightly positive hydrogen atoms in water.
What is the coordinate bonding and what is the difference between it and the covalent bonding?
Covalent bonding involves two or more atoms sharing electrons. Coordinate covalent bonding is just an attraction that molecules have for other molecules based on the asymmetrical distribution of electrons in those molecules, creating negatively charged and positively charged regions (and hence, an attraction between the negatively charged regions of one molecule and the positively charged regions of another molecule).
Why water is polar covalent bond?
There are two hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is positively charged. That means that there is a 2+. There is one oxygen atom. Oxygen is negatively charged. This means that there is a 1-. (2+) - (1-) = 1+ charge A water molecule is polar because one side of the molecule is positively charged and the other is negatively charged due to it's molecular structure.
Can oxygen be attracted to the negatively charged atoms of other molecules?
yes
How are water molecules like magnets?
water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
What part of a water molecule is negative?
oxygen atoms are partially negatively charged
If such an ion is negatively charged and includes one or more oxygen atoms is called?
Anion
Why are oxygen atoms neutral if they have 8 positively charged protons?
Because they also have 8 negatively charged electrons.
Are atoms normally negatively charged?
No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.
Are electron negatively charged atoms?
No. An electron is negatively charged but it is not an atom. It is a subatomic particle and the negatively charged component of an atom.
What is something with a negatively charged particle?
Things that contain negatively charged particles include atoms, protons, neutrons, as well as any molecules, and larger, everyday, objects.
Which type of compound is composed of negatively and positively charged atoms?
Ionic compounds are composed of negatively and positively charged atoms.
What is true of an atoms's nucleus?
negatively charged and takes up most of the atoms space Takes up most of the atoms mass and is negatively charged
Why is ice less dense?
A water molecule is made from one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, strongly joined to each other with covalent bonds. Water molecules are also attracted to each other by weaker chemical bonds (hydrogen bonds) between the positively-charged hydrogen atoms and the negatively-charged oxygen atoms of neighboring water molecules. As water cools below 4°C, the hydrogen bonds adjust to hold the negatively charged oxygen atoms apart. This produces a crystal lattice, which is commonly known as 'ice'. The crstal form of water (ice) is about 9% less dense than liquid water due to the change in those bonds.
What would happen when caesium chloride is added with water?
It dissolves and therefore appears colourless because the positively charged ions, (Cs+) will be attracted to the negatively charged oxygen atoms in water, and the negatively charged ions (Cl-) will be attracted to the slightly positive hydrogen atoms in water.
