Question

water acts like a magnet, meaning opposite charges attract. select the statement that describes what would happen if two water molecules came near each other. the negative oxygen atom of one water molecule would stick (bond) to the negative oxygen of a second water molecule. the negative oxygen atom of one water molecule would stick (bond) to the positive hydrogen atom of a second water molecule. the positive hydrogen atom of one water molecule would stick (bond) to a hydrogen atom of a second water molecule.

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule. Oxygen has a partial - negative charge and hydrogen has a partial - positive charge. Opposite charges attract. So, the negative oxygen of one water molecule will be attracted to the positive hydrogen of another water molecule.

Answer:

The negative oxygen atom of one water molecule would stick (bond) to the positive hydrogen atom of a second water molecule.
