Identify the best explanation for this silly cartoon image. (1 point) Responses A fully negative ion is formed when oxygen takes the electron from hydrogen, making it a -1 ion. A fully negative ion is formed when oxygen takes the electron from hydrogen, making it a -1 ion. The red atom represent hydrogen and it is more electronegative than oxygen, the white atom, so it possesses the electrons more of the time. The red atom represent hydrogen and it is more electronegative than oxygen, the white atom, so it possesses the electrons more of the time. A fully positive ion is formed by oxygen because it gains electrons from hydrogen. A fully positive ion is formed by oxygen because it gains electrons from hydrogen. The red atom represents oxygen and oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, the white atom. Oxygen holds the electrons during the bond, making it feel partially negative.

The best explanation for the cartoon image is: "The red atom represents oxygen and oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, the white atom. Oxygen holds the electrons during the bond, making it feel partially negative."

This explanation correctly depicts the relationship between oxygen and hydrogen in terms of electronegativity, indicating that oxygen attracts the shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, leading to a polar covalent bond where oxygen becomes partially negative and hydrogen becomes partially positive.
