oxygen's charge is 2-
a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, meaning it attracts electrons more strongly. In a water molecule, the oxygen atom will partially pull the shared electrons towards itself, giving it a slightly negative charge while the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge.
Water (H2O) is a polar covalent bond. This means that the atoms share electrons unequally, resulting in a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms.
negative
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.
Electrons carry a negative charge.
a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
The object would have a negative charge. Negative particles, such as electrons, carry a negative charge when they outnumber the positive particles, such as protons.
positive or negative charge. A+
The two kinds of electric charge are positive and negative. Positive charge is carried by protons, while negative charge is carried by electrons. Opposite charges attract each other, while like charges repel.
Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an atom with more protons than electrons would have a positive charge. Note that an atom with this kind of imbalance is known as an ion.
In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom carries a partial negative charge due to its higher electronegativity compared to hydrogen atoms. This causes the shared electrons to spend more time closer to the oxygen, resulting in a slight negative charge on the oxygen and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atoms. However, in terms of formal charge, the oxygen atom typically has no charge when it is neutral and bonded correctly in a molecule.
Neutron is a neutral particle. Proton has one positive charge. Electron has one negative charge.
