Question

Which statements accurately describe the polarity and electronegativity of water? The oxygen atom in a water molecule is strongly electronegative. Water is polar, which means that it has an overall negative charge. Strong covalent bonds are formed between two or more water molecules. A water molecule is polar, but it has no net charge. Covalent bonds in a water molecule bind its oxygen atom to its two hydrogen atoms.

Step 1

Statement 1: "The oxygen atom in a water molecule is strongly electronegative." This is true. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, meaning it attracts electrons more strongly in a covalent bond. Statement 2: "Water is polar, which means that it Show more…
