Why does a water molecule have a bent shape?

Chemistry
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago
3 0
The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104obond angle. The water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs, although still exerting influence on the shape, are invisible when looking at molecular geometry.

Which type of element is not likely to react chemically with other elements to form a compound?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The noble gases with complete outermost shell electrons.

Explanation:

Noble gases or inert gases do not react chemically with other elements because they have a complete configuration of their electronic shells. What drives chemical reaction is simply the exchange of electrons between two or more atoms. It can be a loss, a gain or simple sharing of electrons in order to achieve a complete configuration just like those of noble gases.
