Question
which part of a water molecule has a negative charge? options: the left, the hydrogen, the oxygen, the right (with an image of a water molecule labeled h, h, o)
Brief Explanations
In a water molecule ($H_2O$), oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the oxygen atom attracts electrons more, giving it a partial negative charge. Hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges. "The Left" and "The Right" refer to positions, not charge - carrying parts.
