What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 2 outer atoms and 2 lone pairs?
Bent, like water.
Why is the electron geometry of a water tetrahedral while molecular geometry is V shaped?
Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell but attains 8 when it bonds with the two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule. This makes 4 pairs of two. Theelectron geometry is therefore a tetrahedral (4 apices). Because the two hydrogens are attached to two of these apices they form a V 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.
What is a household item with bent molecular geometry?
Water! That is... if you consider water a household item...This is due to its two lone pairs. More info can be found at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometryOf course, one lone pair in a molecule with steric number of 3 works as well. (See VSEPR Model for more info)
What kind of geometry do water molecule go along with?
A water molecule is considered to be V(or bent) shape.
