A single water molecule consists of an oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms attached to it. The three atoms, H-O-H make and angle of approx 105 degrees rather than lie in a straight line. However, in liquid water, the lone hydrogen atoms bond with neighbouring water molecules in form tetrahedral forms.

What general patterns for identifying the electron geometry of a molecule?
To determine the structural geometry of a molecule, structural pair geometry must be used. These are the amounts of pairs found surrounding a specific molecule, and they are unique to each type of atom.
What is the electronic geometry of BCl3 Enter the electronic geometry of the molecule.?
trigonal planar
What is the Preferred geometry of molecule BrF3?
The preferred geometry of molecule BrF3 or bromine trifluoride is a planar "T-shaped" molecule. This is due to the two lone pairs of electrons on bromine, which cause a repulsion from the fluorine atoms.
What causes water to be more polar molecule?
Because of the way the hydrogens bond to the oxygen in water, the molecular geometry is a bent or angular shape, and the oxygen has 2 lone pairs of electrons. This makes the oxygen part of the water molecule rather negative relative to the hydrogen part of the molecule, which is rather positive. Thus, there is a separation of charge, and this is what makes the water molecule so polar.
What is the molecular geometry of C-O bond?
As with all molecule consisting of only two atoms the geometry is linear.
The electron geometry of a water molecule is even though the molecular geometry is bent?
The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is _____. Bent
Which model of hydrocarbon shows the geometry of the molecule?
the ball and stick model. apex
Does the water molecule have a bent geometry shape?
yes it does, because the oxygen contains lone pairs which makes the water molecule a bent geometry shape.
What kind of geometry do water molecule go along with?
A water molecule is considered to be V(or bent) shape.
What happens to life without geometry?
There would be no life because without the geometry of the water molecule, there would be no water. No water, no life.
The geometry of a water molecule is?
bent
What type of compound is Cl2O?
Chlorine(I) Oxide is a covalently bonded molecule which has the same geometry as in water molecule.
Why does water have a molecular geometry instead of bein linear?
Water is not a linear molecule because of the location of oxygen's electron orbits. The bonding electrons are angled and this results in the shape of the molecule.
What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs?
Bent, like water.
Geometry is the focus of this course?
Euclidean Geometry if the focous of this course. -apex
Geometry for P in PCl6-?
electron-pair geometry is octahedral with no LPs and the molecule geometry is octahedral
What is the structural geometry of the NOF molecule?
Molecular geometry will be bent, electron geometry will be trigonal planar
