Question 1 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR
Water molecules are polar because oxygen attracts the shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen, creating partial charges. A water molecule has a bent geometry, not a linear one, because the oxygen atom has two lone pairs that affect its shape. The partially positive hydrogen atoms in one water molecule can attract the partially negative oxygen atoms in other water molecules, producing hydrogen bonds.
