Question
which part of a water molecule has a positive charge? options: the bottom, the oxygen, the hydrogen, the top (accompanied by an image of a water molecule labeled water molecule showing two blue h atoms and one red o atom)
Brief Explanations
In a water molecule ($H_2O$), oxygen is more electronegative, pulling electrons closer. This leaves hydrogen atoms with a partial positive charge. Oxygen has a partial negative charge. "The Bottom" or "The Top" are not relevant to charge distribution.
