It does in some (rare) circumstances, but it's much more commonly found with a formal negative charge since it's a highly electronegative element.
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.
a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
Ions composed of nitrogen and oxygen are negatively charged, they do not have positive charges.
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.
It has a charge on it. it has a positive charge on it.
Oxygen typically has a charge of -2.
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.
Oxygen atoms do not possess a net positive charge. They typically exist in a neutral state, with equal numbers of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

a positive charge caused by a covalent bond with oxygen
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
Oxygen typically has a negative charge when it forms ions, such as in the case of the oxide ion (O2-). In its neutral state, oxygen atoms do not have a net charge.
it says oxygen acts negativw so most likely hydrogen on the bottom acts positive
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.
Ions composed of nitrogen and oxygen are negatively charged, they do not have positive charges.
Oxygen does not typically form a positive charge with fluorine. Oxygen tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration, while fluorine tends to gain electrons to reach a stable octet. This results in the formation of a covalent bond between the two elements, with oxygen typically having a partial negative charge and fluorine having a partial positive charge.
