A water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
The hydrogen atoms are smaller than the oxygen atom.
They are bonded together by covalent bonds in a 'bent' shape (like a shallow 'v') with the oxygen in the middle, at the point.
The 'v' shape is because the oxygen atom has two pairs of unbonded electrons on, and they push the bonds further round the atom.

What is a water bending position look like?
Water is a fluid and bend but not to move its molecule is changed.
Is it true that water molecules look like a chain of atoms?
No. A water molecule only consists of three atoms bonded together.
How does an organic molecule look like?
Any organic molecule contain carbon.
Is CH3NH2 soluble in water?
yes it is soluble in water as we know from the common principal of "like dissolves like" in this case water is a polar molecule as well as the molecule in question therefore the molecule you specified will infact dissolve in water
Why do some substances not dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water.
What does a picture or a molecule of water look like?
Very small

Why is water called the Mickey Mouse Molecule?
Water is called the Mickey Mouse Molecule because water molecules look like Mickey Mouse's head when they are enlarged. The two hydrogen atoms form the "ears", and the oxygen atom forms the "head."
What does the molecule look like after it is replicated?
it looks like cookies
What molecule has a tetrahedral shape?
Do i look like einstein
Where are the hydrogen bonds in a water molecule?
I don't know! Look it up for yourself!
Why do some substances not dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water.
Why toluene is insoluble to water?
Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and like all hydrocarbons is a non polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule. The rule of dissolving is that non polar cannot dissolve in polar
What particles of water in the solid state look like?
One answer is a single molecule of water, which would look like three-sided clump with a hydrogen atom and twp oxygen atoms at 120 degrees apart. An ice crystal frozen in an ice cube would look a lot like the first case. Also the particle could be part of a snowflake.
