Which atom in a water molecule has the greatest electronegativitity?
Pmtz69
Hydrogen I'm sorry "youarewhatyoubelieveyouare", but this answer isn't correct. Oxygen has the higher affinity for electrons... that's why, in a water molecule, each hydrogen has a positive and the oxygen has a double negative charge... the oxygen is attracting more of the electronic cloud towards itself than the hydrogen...

∙ 12y agoWater (H2O) consists of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. In water molecules, hydrogen forms a cation (positively charged ion) and oxygen forms the anion (negatively charged ion). Thus, in a water molecule, the oxygen atom is more electronegative.

Why is water a molecule rather than an atom?
Water is a molecule rather than an atom because it consists of more than one atom. In fact it consists of atoms of two different elements.
How many atoms are there in a molecule os water?
In one molecule of water there are 3 atoms. One oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.
How many of each type of atom is in a single molecule of water?
hydrogen atom 2 oxygen atom 1
Is atom water?
Water is a molecule; 2 of hydrogen and 1 of oxygen atoms.
Why you cannot say ' an atom of water'?
word "atom" is used for a single element water is not an atom , it's a molecule which is made by the combination of atom when they reat with each other
Which atom has the largest electronegativity value?
which atom in a water molecule has the greatest electronegativity?
Where is the density of electrons greatest in the water molecule?
The density of electrons in a water molecule is highest around/near the oxygen atom.
Is water a atom or a molecule?
Is not a molecule or a atom it is a compound
Is water atom or molecule?
a molucle
Is a water molecule formed from 1 oxygen atom and 1 hydrogen atom?
No. The molecule for water is H2O, meaning each water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
What are two atoms that bond with a oxygen atom to form a water molecule?
two atoms that bond with a oxygen atom to form a water molecule
How many hydrogen atom are present in each molecule?
Per every water molecule, there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. These atoms make up a water molecule.
Why is water a molecule rather than an atom?
Water is a molecule rather than an atom because it consists of more than one atom. In fact it consists of atoms of two different elements.
What biological molecule will not mix with water?
Lipids
How many atom of each element are in each molecule?
