What charge does the oxygen side of a water molecule have?

• Positive charge

• Neutral charge

• Negative charge

• No charge

Answer explanation

In a water molecule (H2O), oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing it to attract electrons more strongly. This results in a partial negative charge on the oxygen side, making the correct answer 'Negative charge'.

Which element in the water molecule is represented by the letter 'O'?

• Hydrogen

• Oxygen

• Carbon

• Nitrogen

What is the primary reason for water's polarity?

• Its high molecular weight

• Its bent shape and polar bonds

• Its ability to dissolve salts

• Its colorless nature

• Metallic bond

• Hydrogen bond

Which side of the water molecule is more electronegative?

• Hydrogen side

• Oxygen side

• Both sides equally

• Neither side

What is the role of the dipole moment in water molecules?

• It makes water non-polar

• It contributes to water's polarity

• It reduces water's boiling point

• It increases water's density
