Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The partial negative charge at one end of a water molecule is attracted to the partial positive charge of another water molecule. This attraction is called: a covalent bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -As a result, the water molecule is “polar”, meaning the molecule has an unequal distribution of charge. The oxygen atom pulls the electrons away from the hydrogen atoms resulting in the oxygen atom having a partial negative charge (-
