As a molecule it is "V" shaped, with the oxygen atom at the vertex. In quantity, it is a fluid and so takes the shape of the container that it is in.

What is the name for the shape of H2O?

The shape of H2O is called a bent or angular shape. It is due to the two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom, causing the hydrogen atoms to be slightly pushed down.


Does H2O have a trigonal planar shape?

it is bent because it has two bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs


Is H2O symmetrical or asymmetrical?

H2O is asymmetrical due to the bent molecular shape formed by the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.

H20 doesn't have any specific shape, it takes the shape of it's containner. i.e : water in a glass; the water takes the shape of the glass


According to VSEPR theory which molecule has a bent shape CO2 H2O CS2 HF?

H2O, with a bond angle of 104.5 degrees due to its three areas of electron density.

What is the shape of the H2O molecule?

The H2O molecule has a bent or angular shape due to the arrangement of the two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This shape is caused by the presence of two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom, which repel the bonding pairs and create a slight angle between the hydrogen-oxygen-hydrogen atoms.


Why if CO2 and H2O both have 2 atoms around the central atom are they not the same shape?

Because H2O has electron pairs on the O atom which repel the H atoms more and change it's shape. Their electromagnetic repulsion is stronger than a lone electron and they push the H atoms away


What is the shape of a H20 molecule and a carbon tetrachloride molecule?

A water (H2O) molecule has a bent shape due to the arrangement of the two hydrogen atoms around the oxygen atom. A carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) molecule has a tetrahedral shape with the carbon atom in the center and four chlorine atoms at the corners of the tetrahedron.


What are the 2 atoms that give water its shape?

Water - H2O - is made of hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of 2:1.
