Question

Explain why water is polar. Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Water is known as a polar molecule because Check all that apply. the hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom. the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does. the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity. the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. water dipole moment is equal to zero.

Answer 1

The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does.

The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Its molecular geometry is bent.
