Where would you find the following symbol on a diagram of a water molecule: δ+ ?

On the 2 hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

δ+ indicates the atom has a lower electronegativity than the other atom it is bonded with. This only exist in polar covalent bonds, where the 2 atoms have different electronegativity values. When they have different electronegativity values, the one with higher electronegativity has a higher tendency to "pull" the shared electrons towards itself, they have a δ- symbol.

Back to H2O, since the electronegativity of elements increases from left to right horizontally and upwards vertically in the periodic table (except for noble gases, they are unreactive. Note that fluorine has the highest electronegativity), O atom has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen (hydrogen sits at the centre top of the table). hence, we can find δ+ on the hydrogen atoms.
