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.
