And so because of that partially negative charge on the oxygen it will be attracted to the positive two charge on the zinc. And that will form this bond, as shown here. Now, what that means is, because this oxygen is interacting with the zinc, the interaction between the oxygen and either one of these H atoms will not be as strong. And so the hydrogen, one of these hydrogens will basically be much more likely to dissociate from that oxygen. So water bind onto the metal zinc atom. The partially negative charge of oxygen is attracted to the positive charge of the zinc.
