Want this question answered?
The higher electronegativity of oxygen allows water to carry partial charges (negative on oxygen, positive on hydrogen). These partial charges allow water to bind strongly with itself, and allows it to interact with polar molecules. The partial charge allows polar molecules to dissolve in water.

electronegativity
You think probable to electronegativity.
The electronegativity of Uranium is 1,3.
which atom in a water molecule has the greatest electronegativity?
Water is polar molecule since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
This is the difference of electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen.
Electronegativity
The higher electronegativity of oxygen allows water to carry partial charges (negative on oxygen, positive on hydrogen). These partial charges allow water to bind strongly with itself, and allows it to interact with polar molecules. The partial charge allows polar molecules to dissolve in water.

You think probable to electronegativity.
The attraction of a particular kind of atom for the electrons of a covalent bond is called its electronegativity. If oxygen and hydrogen had equal electronegativity there wouldn't be any attraction between each molecule of water thus no hydrogen bonds.
The electronegativity increases
Because nonpolar oxygen is has a much greater electronegativity and oxygen and water go well.
