For my ANSER IS: The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and aslightpositive charge near its hydrogen atoms. When a neutralmolecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar molecule.

Why oxygen has negative charge?

Oxygen does not have a negative charge on its own. Oxygen is a neutral element with 8 protons and 8 electrons. However, in certain chemical reactions, oxygen can gain or share electrons with other elements, resulting in the formation of ions that may have a negative charge.
