Which of these describes the charges in a water molecule? Choose the correct answer.
A. oxygen – strong positive
hydrogen – slight positive

B. oxygen – slight negative
hydrogen – strong negative

C. oxygen – slight negative
hydrogen – slight positive

D, oxygen – slight positive
hydrogen – slight negative

Respuesta :

Water (chemical formula H2O) is a molecule composed of two atoms of Hydrogen (H) and one atom of Oxygen (O). This composition confers to water its unique properties.

  • The statement 'oxygen – slight negative; hydrogen – slight positive' BEST describes the charges in a water molecule.

  • In an aqueous solution, slight positive charges on the two H atoms attract the slight negative charges on the O atoms of the other two water molecules.

  • In consequence, water is a polar molecule with unequal sharing of electrons (e-) between atoms.
