Answer:

The oxygen atom holds the electrons in a covalent bond more closely than the hydrogen atoms and develops a partial negative charge.

Explanation:

Water molecule is composed two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.Both the hydrogen atom interact with the single oxygen by the formation of covalent bond.

  Although the covalent bond is formed but the bonding electrons are not shared equally by both the atom.As oxygen is more electronegative than that of hydrogen atom,oxygen attract the bonding electron pair towards itself.

  As a result the hydrogen atom get partial positive charge and oxygen atom gains partial negative charge.

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check
rosijanka [135]

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step 3.
