Where is the majority of negative charge on the water molecule?
Water molecules consist of hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules. Most of the negative charge comes from the oxygen molecules while the hydrogen molecules carry the positive charge.
Where is majority of negative charge on the water molecule?
Water molecules consist of hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules. Most of the negative charge comes from the oxygen molecules while the hydrogen molecules carry the positive charge.
What type of charge does a water molecule have?
A water molecule has both negative and positive charges.
Does a water molecule have a positive charge negative charge or no charge?
Usually neutral. However, also note that water has an electric dipole, i.e., the molecule has a positive and a negative side.
What is the charge of the oxygen end of a water molecule?
The oxygen end of a water molecule has a partial negative charge. The hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge.
Which water molecule has a partial positive charge?
hydrogen has a positive charge and oxygen has a negative charge.
Which end is negitively charged on a water molecule?
The oxygen end of the water molecule has a partial negative charge.
What struggle produces the partial negative and partial positive charges on a water molecule?
The water molecule has a partial negative and partial positive charge because it is a polar molecule. Electrostatic attraction between the partial negative and partial positive molecules gives the water molecule its partial charge.
What is positive in a water molecule?
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have a partial positive charge, while the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge.
What type of charge is carried by the oxygen atom of a water molecule?
A partial negative charge.
Why does oxygen atom in a water molecule have negative charge?
Oxygen is an anion.
Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?
The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.
