now, drag and drop the correct partial charge symbol to label each atom.
now, drag and drop the correct partial charge symbol to label each atom.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall electronegativity concept
Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
Step2: Determine partial - charge distribution
In a water molecule (H₂O), the more electronegative oxygen atom attracts the shared - electrons more, getting a partial negative charge ($\delta^-$), and hydrogen gets a partial positive charge ($\delta^+$).
Answer:
For the oxygen atoms: $\delta^-$ For the hydrogen atoms: $\delta^+$
