Question

In a water molecule, how is the charge distributed?
1.negatively on the hydrogen side and positively on the oxygen side
2.positively on the hydrogen side and negatively on the oxygen side
3.Neither of the above; water is nonpolar and has an evenly distributed charge.

Answer 1

Water is a "polar" molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electron density.

Answer 2

Answer: 2nd

Explanation:
