The correct response is:
**The hydrogen and oxygen poles have slight opposite charges.**
Water molecules are polar, meaning they have a distribution of charge that leads to slightly positive hydrogen atoms and a slightly negative oxygen atom. This polarity allows for weak hydrogen bonds to form between water molecules.
