oxygen atoms are partially negatively charged
The negative dipole of the oxygen
They are not attracted to each other because one is polar and one is nonpolar.
The oxygen in a water molecule doesn't really have a "charge" per se. It is partially negative relative to the hydrogen atoms which are partially positive. The oxidation number of oxygen in water is 2-, however, but this isn't really a "charge".
Hydrogen is positive and Oxygen is negative.
Slightly negative. The oxygen end of the water molecule is slightly negative because of oxygen's greater electronegativity. The two electrons of the hydrogens in covalent bonding spend more of their time in oxygen's valance shell.
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
oxygen atoms are partially negatively charged
Oxygen attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen does.
Oxygen atoms in water molecules are the same as oxygen atoms in any other molecules; the definition of an oxygen atom is that it is an atom which has eight protons in its nucleus. Normally it has eight neutrons and eight electrons as well, but that can vary. It is only the eight protons which define it as oxygen.
The negative dipole of the oxygen
None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.
They are not attracted to each other because one is polar and one is nonpolar.
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.
The oxygen atom is in the "middle" of the water molecule and has a slight negative charge. Refer to the related link below.
The oxygen end,which is a negative pole
Oxygen has a low negative charge.
