What else can I help you with?
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.
Which kind of eletrical charge is found on a hydrogen atom of a polar water molecule?
a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
Is oxygen's charge positive or negative?
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
Why do oxygen and hydrogen bond so well?
Oxygen and hydrogen bond well due to their electronegativity difference, with oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogen. This creates a polar covalent bond, where oxygen pulls in the shared electrons closer to itself, creating a slightly negative charge on oxygen and a slightly positive charge on hydrogen. This attraction between the partially positive hydrogen and partially negative oxygen forms a strong hydrogen bond.
What results from hydrogen being at one end of a water molecule and oxygen at the other end?
They are not attracted to each other because one is polar and one is nonpolar.
Which water molecule has a partial positive charge?
In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms have a partial positive charge. This is because the oxygen atom is more electronegative than hydrogen, pulling electron density towards itself and creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.
What kind of charge would the hydrogen atoms have compared to the oxygen?
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.
What is positively and negatively charged in a water molecule?
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive

Which kind of eletrical charge is found on a hydrogen atom of a polar water molecule?
a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
What causes the water molecule to have a negative charge?
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.
Is oxygen's charge positive or negative?
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
Is oxygen atom has an overall negative charge with the hydrogen atoms having an overall positive charge?
All atoms have the same overall charge with the exception of ionization (electrons are lost or gained). since there are the same amount of protons and electrons in an atom, the negative and positive cancel each other out.
Why do oxygen and hydrogen bond so well?
Oxygen and hydrogen bond well due to their electronegativity difference, with oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogen. This creates a polar covalent bond, where oxygen pulls in the shared electrons closer to itself, creating a slightly negative charge on oxygen and a slightly positive charge on hydrogen. This attraction between the partially positive hydrogen and partially negative oxygen forms a strong hydrogen bond.
The structure of water causes hydrogen to have a positive or negative charge?
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.
What results from hydrogen being at one end of a water molecule and oxygen at the other end?
They are not attracted to each other because one is polar and one is nonpolar.
The oxygen atom in a water molecule has a slight negative charge?
Yes, the oxygen atom in a water molecule has a slight negative charge because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. This causes the shared electrons to be closer to the oxygen atom, giving it a partial negative charge.
