Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the bond angle in a water molecule (H2O)?
  • Step 1: Understand that a water molecule (H2O) consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons that are not involved in bonding.
  • Step 3: Know that the shape of the water molecule is bent due to the presence of these lone pairs.
  • Step 4: Learn that the bond angle is the angle between the two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule.
  • Step 5: Find out that the bond angle in H2O is approximately 104.5 degrees because the lone pairs push the hydrogen atoms closer together.
