The below picture is the electrostatic potential plot for valine molecule. The blue regions are areas of positive charge, the red regions are areas of negative charge, and the clear regions are areas of neutral charge. Comment on the charge distribution of valine and whether this makes sense based on the polarity of the bonds in the molecule. Additonally, explain there is negative charge  for oxygen and positive  charge for carbon
