- How does the composition of a water molecule affect its charge?
In summary, water's composition causes it to be polar due to the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen, resulting in partial charges within the molecule, making the correct answer C: it makes the molecule polar
- Biol 100 Flashcards | Quizlet
The oxygen has a partial negative charge and the hydrogens have a partial positive charge, yielding a weakly polar water molecule that can form hydrogen bonds
- Are Water Molecules Charged? The Role of Polarity
Water molecules are electrically neutral overall, meaning they do not carry a net positive or negative electrical charge However, they possess a unique property known as polarity, which describes an uneven distribution of electrical charge within the molecule itself
- Water as a Molecule | Water Knowledge For All
Water is a polar molecule What this means is that electronic charge is not evenly distributed among the 3 atoms of the water molecule (Figure 1)
- What effects does charge have on water molecules? - Sage-Advices
The water molecule, as a whole, has 10 protons and 10 electrons, so it is neutral The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms
- Biology 2e, The Chemistry of Life, The Chemical Foundation of Life, Water
While there is no net charge to a water molecule, water's polarity creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water’s properties of attraction
- Does Water Have a Positive or Negative Charge?
A water molecule does not carry a net positive or negative charge; it is electrically neutral This neutrality results from the balance between the subatomic particles within the atoms
- How does the composition of a water molecule affect its charge?
The composition of a water molecule, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, results in an uneven distribution of electrons
