The covalent bonds within water molecules are described as polar covalent bonds. Which of the following best explains why the covalent bonds within water are polar?
- A Hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen, generating a partial negative charge near the hydrogen atom.
- B Hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen, generating a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom.
- C Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, generating a partial negative charge near the oxygen atoms.
- D Oxygen is less electronegative than hydrogen, generating a partial positive charge near the oxygen atoms.
