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 represent hydrogen and it is more electronegative than oxygen, the white atom, so it possesses the electrons more of the time.

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 represents oxygen and oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, the white atom. Oxygen holds the electrons during the bond, making it feel partially negative.

Question 2
Thinking about the first cartoon and now the image seen here, which explanation best describes the intramolecular bonds that exist between oxygen and each hydrogen atom it binds to?

Oxygen and hydrogen share a pair of electrons and since oxygen possesses them more, the bond is polar covalent. There are partial negative and positive poles on a water molecule.
Oxygen and hydrogen share a pair of electrons and since oxygen possesses them more, the bond is polar covalent. There are partial negative and positive poles on a water molecule.

Oxygen and hydrogen transfer electrons back and forth. The result is negative oxygen atoms and positive hydrogen atoms.

Oxygen and hydrogen share a pair of electrons the result are negative oxygen ion and positive hydrogen ions.
Oxygen and hydrogen share a pair of electrons the result are negative oxygen ion and positive hydrogen ions.

Oxygen and hydrogen share a pair of electrons evenly so the bond is nonpolar covalent.
