Question

What is the shape of a water molecule?

Answer 1

water molecule shape is 'V'shape

structure is        

                         . .        

                       ..  O..

                   H            H

Answer 2

like mickey mouse's head! :D

the 2 hydrogen molecules make up the "ears", while the larger oxygen molecule is the "head".

Answer 3

Shape? Closet shape would be an equilateral triangle with one side missing. An Oxygen at one point and Hydrogen at the other 2

Answer 4

The shape is "bent" (like a ^ or a V) with the atom of Oxygen at the "turning point" and the two atoms of hydrogen at the ends of the V or ^.

This is because of the two lone pairs of negatively charged electrons that exist in the compound.  They kind of push against each other so that in the end, the two atoms of Hydrogen are closer.

Answer 5

The water molecule has this basic geometric structure



IT IS SOME WHAT LARGER "V" SHAPE..

WITH 104.5 AS THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE HYDROGEN ATOMS

Answer 6

A teddy bear's head (the hydrogens are the ears!).
