A. One atom of negatively charged hydrogen and one atom of positively charged oxygen.
B. One atom of negatively charged oxygen and one atom of positively charged hydrogen.
C. Two atoms of positively charged hydrogen and one atom of negatively charged oxygen.
D. Two atoms of negatively charged hydrogen and one atom of positively charged oxygen.

Sagot :

It’s option c.
But actually water has both covalent and ionic characteristics. It is 33% ionic and 67% covalent, so it’s not right to say that it’s made up of two positive H and an oxygen atom with negative charge.
With regards to four options given third is most relevant one.
