Question

Water is polar because...?

a
the unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near the oxygen and a slight positive near the hydrogen atoms.
b
the unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near the hydrogen atoms and a slight positive near the oxygen.
c
water is neutral
d
the molecule has two poles, at which it is colder than at other regions of the molecule

Answer 1

A. Hydrogen has like 1 electron- while oxygen has like 8. The more electrons, the more negative the charge, as electrons have a negative charge. Thus, their are polar regions. Positive hydrogen, and negative oxygen.
