Oxygen has a partially positive charge, and the hydrogens have a partially negative charge.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Oxygen has a partially negative charge, and the hydrogens have a partially positive charge.

This is due to the differences in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen, leading to the polar nature of the water molecule.
