Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
Whenever the atoms of two different elements share electrons in a bond, usually one atom will "want" those electrons more than the other.
There will be a tug-of-war between the two atoms, and the "bully" will pull those electrons closer to itself.
In a water molecule, the "bully" is the O atom, so the electrons in the bond spend most of their time closer to the O rather than halfway between the O and H (Diagram 1).
Electrons have a negative charge, so the O atom gets a negative charge and the H atom becomes positive.
The + and - charges attract each other, like the N and S poles of a magnet, so the positively charged H atoms in one molecule are strongly attracted to the negatively charged O atoms in a different molecule (Diagram 2).
It is these strong attractions between the molecules that give water its unique properties.
