The oxygen atom in a water molecule A is electrically neutral. B carries a negative electrical charge. C carries a positive electrical charge. D carries an electrical charge that depends on what other atoms or molecules are nearby. E carries an electrical charge that oscillates rapidly between positive and negative.

The oxygen atom in a water molecule carries a negative electrical charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) is an intermolecular force having partial ionic-covalent character. H-bonding takes place between a hydrogen atom (attached with an electronegative atom e.g. O, N and F) and an electronegative atom (O,N and F).

In , , O is a highly electronegative atom attached to a H atom through a covalent bond. Therefore O atom gets partial negative charge and H atoms get partial positive charge.  

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
