WATER
Water Formula
•A water molecule (H2O),
is made up of threethree atoms =
•one oxygen and two hydrogen.
H

Water is Polar!
• each water molecule has a slightly negative and a slightly positive end (pole)
• The oxygenoxygen end “acts” negativenegative• The hydrogenhydrogen end “acts” positivepositive• Causes the water to be POLARPOLAR• Overall, Water is neutralneutral (equal
number of e- and p+) --- Zero Net Zero Net ChargeCharge
