Answer:
electrons are more strongly attracted to the O atom
Explanation:
It is true that in the in the polarity of water, electrons are more strongly attracted to the oxygen atom compared to the hydrogen atom.
- In a water molecule, there are two atoms, hydrogen and oxygen.
- These atoms are bonded together by covalent bonding.
- Oxygen is more electronegative compared to Hydrogen.
- It pulls the shared electron more itself compared to hydrogen.
- This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen and net positive charge on the hydrogen.
- The charge separation makes water polar.
