Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bond found at "A" in a water molecule is a polar covalent bond. This type of bond occurs when electrons are shared unequally between atoms, as is the case between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water. The oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms, creating a molecule with a partial negative charge near the oxygen and partial positive charges near the hydrogens.
