Answer:

The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is a "polar" molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electron density. Water has a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom due to the unshared pairs of electrons, and partial positive charges near the hydrogen atoms.
