The partial negative charge (and partial positive charge) in a molecule of water occurs because O a) one of the hydrogen atoms gains protons b) the electrons shared between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms spend more time around the ox atom nucleus than around the hydrogen atom nucleus. Oc) one of the hydrogen atoms donates an electron to the oxygen atom. d) the oxygen atom forms hybrid orbitals that distribute electrons unequally around the oxygen nucleus.

• predict the geometry of a molecule from its, Lewis structure.
7.30 The bond in HF is said to be polar, with the hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge. For this to be true, the hydrogen atom must have less than one electron around it. Yet the Lewis dot structure of HF attributes two electrons to hydrogen. Draw a picture of the electron density distribution for HF and use it to describe how the hydrogen atom can carry a partial positive charge. How can these two models of the HF bond (the electron density and the Lewis structure) seem so different and yet describe the same thing?
