2.The oxygen end of the molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial positive charge.
3.Both ends of the molecule have a partial negative charge, which attracts the other water molecule towards itself.

heyya mate...
the option 2) is the correct answer..!!
Goharshaikh:
Water is a "polar" molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electron density.Water has a partial negative charge ( ) near the oxygen atom due the unshared pairs of electrons, and partial positive charges ( ) near the hydrogen atoms.
I think this is the best way to understand
