Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hydrogen atoms are slightly ____
A
positive
B
negative
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the electrons are closer to oxygen than to hydrogen which makes oxygen slighly more negative and hydrogen slightly more positive. This creates a polarity and the bond is called a polar covalent bond . Q. In water, oxygen has a slight negative charge and hydrogen has a slight positive charge.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen, the smallest of atoms has 1 outer electron, making it have a slightly positive charge (+1).

Detailed explanation-3: -In a polar covalent bond containing hydrogen (e.g., an O-H bond in a water molecule), the hydrogen will have a slight positive charge because the bond electrons are pulled more strongly toward the other element. Because of this slight positive charge, the hydrogen will be attracted to any neighboring negative charges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer:-Hydrogen is a positively charged ion. The first element in the periodic table is hydrogen because the number of the electron in hydrogen is 1.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom within water molecules (H2O) form polar covalent bonds. While there is no net charge to a water molecule, the polarity of water creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water’s properties of attraction.
