Question

Water is everywhere! It makes up 75 percent of the Earth’s surface and more than 60 percent of our body weight. But in its smallest, most basic form, water is a tiny molecule made from hydrogen and oxygen. Two positively charged hydrogen atoms are bonded with one negatively charged oxygen atom. The result is one water molecule that has a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other. The presence of opposite charges in each water molecule is called polarity.

A

B
element.
