Biology

svlad2 [7]2 years ago

Answer:slightly positive charge

While there is no net charge to a water molecule, the polarity of water creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water's properties of attraction. Water's charges are generated because oxygen is more electronegative, or electron loving, than hydrogen.

Answer:

A negative charge exists because of the electronegativity of oxygen. A polar water molecule is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Due to its atomic structure, there is an unequal distribution of charges and thus oxygen gets a more negative charge while hydrogen gets a positive charge.
