Q: What is the shape of the water molecule (H2O)?
Solution:
The water molecule has a bent shape due to the two lone pairs on the oxygen atom.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O).
Step 2: Know that the oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons that are not involved in bonding.
Step 3: Recognize that the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen atom.
Step 4: Visualize the arrangement: the two hydrogen atoms are on one side of the oxygen atom.
Step 5: Understand that the lone pairs push the hydrogen atoms down, creating a bent shape instead of a straight line.
