When placed between oppositely charged metal plates, the region of a water molecule attracted to the negative plate is the ___

-hydrogen region of the molecule

-geometric center of the molecule

-H-O-H plane of the molecule

-oxygen region of the molecule

Answer : The correct option is the Hydrogen region of the molecule.

Explanation:

As we know that the water molecule has two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The hydrogen atom has partial positive charge and oxygen has partial negative charge.

In the charged plate, the negative attracts positive. So, hydrogen atom attracted to the negative plate and oxygen to the positive plate.

When water molecule placed between oppositely charged metal plates which is positively charged, then the hydrogen atom which is positively charged attracted to the negative plate.
