Answer:

The less electronegative atom

Step-by-step explanation:

Water contains polar bonds. Water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is more electronegative then hydrogen so it is partial negative (because electron spend more time around oxygen in the polar bond), whereas, hydrogen has a partial positive charge as it is less electronegative (electrons spend less time around hydrogen in this polar bond).
