The hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water has what kind of charge?
|
|
Positive
|
|
|
Negative
|
|
|
Both positive and negative
|
|
|
No charge
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen nucleus with +8 charges attracts electrons better than the hydrogen nucleus with its +1 charge. Hence, the oxygen atom is partially negatively charged and the hydrogen atom is partially positively charged.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is a molecular compound consisting of polar molecules that have a bent shape. The oxygen atom acquires a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hydrogen atom has one proton, which has a positive charge, and one negatively charged electron, so that it is neutral overall. When it loses that one electron to form an ion, the hydrogen ion has a positive charge of +1.
