"slightly negative oxygen pole, slightly positive hydrogen poles."

Explanation: Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the O–H bonds are polar with the oxygen end partially negative (δ−) and the hydrogen ends partially positive (δ+); the molecule has a bent shape giving an overall dipole.
