Question

Which statement correctly describes the electrons in a water molecule

Answer 1

Correct answer: B). Electrons are pulled closer to the oxygen atom.

Hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are attracted towards the other atom such as oxygen because the electrons are pulled close to the oxygen atom, because of greater attraction for electrons in it.

As a result of this attraction, oxygen posses slightly negative charge and hydrogen contain a partial positive charge.

Answer 2

the statement that correctly describes the electrons in a water molecule would be : electrons are pulled closer to oxygen atom
Between the hydrogen and the oxygen, the oxygen tend to pull the electron closer to its atom

hope this helps
