Which description accurately represents a water molecule?(1 point) Responses strongly negative oxygen pole, strongly positive hydrogen poles strongly negative oxygen pole, strongly positive hydrogen poles slightly negative oxygen pole, slightly positive hydrogen poles slightly negative oxygen pole, slightly positive hydrogen poles slightly negative hydrogen poles, slightly positive oxygen pole slightly negative hydrogen poles, slightly positive oxygen pole strongly negative hydrogen poles, strongly positive oxygen pole

The accurate description that represents a water molecule (H₂O) is:
slightly negative oxygen pole, slightly positive hydrogen poles.
In a water molecule, the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, resulting in a partial negative charge on the oxygen and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms.
