it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have a partial positive charge, while the oxygen atom has a partial negative charge.
The oxygen end of the water molecule has a partial negative charge.
The oxygen end of a water molecule has a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge.
Yes
oxygen
substances that dissolve in water include, sugar, salt and others.
The water molecule is polar. The oxygen and hydrogen atoms do not share the electrons equally. The larger oxygen atom tends to hold the electrons more closely than the hydrogen atoms. This causes the oxygen end of the water molecule to be slightly negatively charged, and the hydrogen atoms to be slightly positively charged. When a salt is added to water, the slightly positive hydrogen atoms attract the negative ions of the salt, and the slightly negative oxygen atom attracts the positive ions of the salt, causing them to dissociate and dissolve in the water.
water is charged positively on the oxgen end, and negativelyon the hydrogen end. Oil does not have a charge ( it's netrual), so the oil does not mix with the water. (EDIT by Dr.J.) - Close, but actually water is charged NEGATIVELY on the oxygen and POSITIVELY on the hydrogen. So, it is POLAR, and oil is not polar, so they don't "mix".
Urea is a water-soluble compound with a formula of (NH2)2CO , found in urine. Hydrophobic indicates a molecule that is non-polar, and therefore insoluble in water, so Urea is not hydrophobic.
The Oxygen molecule and Hydrogen molecules have different electronegativity (due to position on Periodic Table). As Oxygen is more electronegative it draws the negatively charged electrons towards itself. This makes the hydrogen atoms more positive and hence the partial charges.
The ends of the water molecule have opposite electrical charges
Water is a "polar" molecule; one end of the molecule is negatively charged while the other end is positively charged.
The oxygen atom, which is negatively charged, is on one end ("pole") of the molecule, and the hydrogen atoms, which are positively charged, are on the other pole.
Water is neutral. This is because it has hydrogen and oxygen particles. One is positively charged, one negatively. This means that they cancel out - water is neutral.
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.
Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.

partially positively charged hydrogen end of the molecule.
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
Yes. The oxygen end is slightly negatively charged, and the hydrogen end is slightly positively charged.
Each molecule of water is polarized, which means that one side is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. Because of this, when water runs over a substance, the water molecules catch on to the other molecules and pull them into the water (decay), or stick them to each molecule (as in a solution).
