The water molecule has a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons (8 from the oxygen atom and 1 from each of the two hydrogen atoms). Since it has the same number of protons and electrons, the water ...

Each water molecule is not linear, but bent, because oxygen has a greater share in those electrons. This bent molecule is richer in electron density around the oxygen atom, and poorer in electron ...

If you could zoom in on a glass of water, you would see trillions of such molecules, along with some excess individual hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons (in other words, just protons).

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen ...
