Question

the oxygen on a water molecule is electronegative which means it does what? holds onto electrons and is partially positive in charge repels electrons and is partially negative in charge holds onto electrons and is partially negative in charge repels electrons and is partially positive in charge

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. Oxygen is highly electronegative. In a water molecule, oxygen holds onto the shared - electrons more strongly than hydrogen. This causes oxygen to have a partial negative charge.

Answer:

Holds onto electrons and is partially negative in charge
