Which statement is true about water molecules?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The oxygen atom has a negative charge.

Explanation:

because at the water molecule there is a covalent bond between Hydrogen atoms and Oxygen atom and in this bond the oxygen atom can attract the shared electrons more than the hydrogen atom , this result an unequal sharing of the electrons between the oxygen atom and the hydrogen atom , and this case that each molecule of water has oxygen atom with negative charge and two hydrogen atoms have positive charge

and answer D is wrong because the water called in chemistry the universal solvent , that because of its ability to solve many substance , and the substances which water cannot dissolve it is like oils and fat soluble at all
