“The oxygen end of the
molecule has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen end has a partial
positive charge” correctly explains the polarity of the water molecule.
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.
The correct answer between all
the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this
answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your
