oxygen atoms have -2 charge where hydrogen generally have +1
I'm assuming you mean when they're bonded to each other - oxygen is more electronegative, so it will have a partial negative charge, and hydrogen will have a partial positive charge.
Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1
Because oxygen has a 2- charge and hydrogen has a +1 charge.
the basic formula is C6H12O6, so there are twice as many number of hydrogen-to-oxygen atoms. This applies to carbon atoms as well when compared to hydrogen atoms.
H2O (hydrogen & oxygen).
A negative charge that exists because of a covalent bond with hydrogen
All atoms are generally neutral species.
Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1
Oxygen goes to -2 Hydrogen to +1
I'm assuming you mean when they're bonded to each other - oxygen is more electronegative, so it will have a partial negative charge, and hydrogen will have a partial positive charge.
hydrogen is partially positive and oxygen is partially negative so your answer is oxygen
Because oxygen has a 2- charge and hydrogen has a +1 charge.
i believe the hypothesis is the overall conclusion.

Water molecules are very cohesive due to the relative positive charge of their hydrogen atoms compared to their oxygen atoms, this allows them to form strong hydrogen bonds in a tetrahedral configuration.
A water molecule consists of one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms. There is a surplus of electrons on the Oxygen side of the molecule which leads to a partial negative charge near the the Oxygen atom and a partially positive charge near the Hydrogen atoms.
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
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.
Positive. Since the Oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity (it is more likely to draw in electrons) than the Hydrogen atoms, the electrons that are shared in the two oxygen/hydrogen bonds will move closer to the Oxygen atom. This will give the Oxygen atom a slightly positive charge and the 2 Hydrogen atoms a slighty negative charge. Because of this, a water molecule is considered polar.
