The correct response is:
Oxygen has a partially negative charge, and the hydrogens have a partially positive charge.
In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, leading to an unequal sharing of electrons. This results in the oxygen atom acquiring a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms acquiring partial positive charges.
