Is a hydrogen on an ethanol more or less positive than on a water molecule. I think the hydrogen is more positive on a water molecule, but I still don't understand why?

Could someone help me figure this out... please and thank you :wink:

That's not a too well defined property as it depends on where you draw the boundary between the hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom.
