Answer:

Water molecules have a weakly positive hydrogen end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is a polar molecule. The pairs of electrons shared by the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are actually more attracted to the oxygen atom with its eight protons than to the hydrogen atoms with their one each. The hydrogen end of the molecule is weakly positive and the oxygen end is weakly negative.

I hope it helps.
