Question

Which describes the polarity in a water molecule?

A. partial negative charge on the oxygen atom because its electrons are pulled toward the hydrogen atoms

B. partial negative charge on the oxygen atom because it pulls electrons from the hydrogen atoms

C. partial positive charge on the oxygen atom because it pulls electrons from the hydrogen atoms

D. partial positive charge on the oxygen atom because its electrons are pulled toward the hydrogen atoms

The answer is B

Answer 1

B. partial negative charge on the oxygen atom because it pulls electrons from the hydrogen atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen has a charge of 6 so they need to pull 2 electrons from hydrogen, which creates a partial negative charge.
