The water molecule is neutral as it contains 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁸ C of both positive and negative charge.
- There are 2 H atoms and 1 O atom in water.
- Hydrogen atom has 1 electron and 1 proton and oxygen atom has 8 electrons and 8 protons.
- So there are total 10 electrons and 10 protons in water.
- Each electron and proton carries 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C charge.
- So each water molecule contains 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁸ C of positive charge as well as negative charge and that is why water is a neutral molecule.
