Water molecules are symmetric, with mirror symmetry across two planes. Their structure is not constant but varies with local conditions, however the angle between the two hydrogen oxygen bonds is often quoted as 104.52 degrees. (This bent structure is responsible for many of waters interesting properties.)

V-shape
Which compound does not have a bent molecular shape?
A compound that does not have a bent molecular shape is carbon dioxide (CO2). It has a linear molecular shape due to the arrangement of the three atoms in a straight line.
What is the molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule?
The molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule is linear. Magnesium has a +2 charge, while hydride has a -1 charge, resulting in a linear molecular shape.
What is the molecular shape CIF2?
The molecular shape of CIF2 is linear. This is because there are only two atoms bonded with the central atom, which results in a linear molecular geometry.
What are molecules with the same molecular formula but different molecular shape?
Isomers
What is the molecular shape of F2 and c12?
F2 has a linear shape.
What is the molecular shape of SF4?
The shape of SF4 is Sea Saw
What is the bond angle and molecular shape of silicon disulfide?
