Sketch a diagram of a water molecule and indicate the ends that bear partial positive and negative charges.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Diagram of a water molecule:

Step by step solution

01

Water molecule diagram

Both ends of the water molecule indicate the hydrogen atoms, and both hydrogen atoms bear a partial positive charge. The oxygen atom bears the partial negative charge.

02

Charges on the water molecule

In a water molecule, the partial negative δ-charge is formed on the oxygen (O) atom, and the partial positive δ+charge is formed on the hydrogen (H) atoms at the ends of the water molecule.

The partial negativeδ+ charge on the oxygen (O) atom is attracted to the partial positive δ+charge on the hydrogen atoms. Both hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to the oxygen atom. The bond angle of the water molecule is104.5o .
