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.

Why is it importana to have variables and untis included in a data table?
Ghella [55]
Because if they aren't properly included, it means that you are saying that the numbers can be anything, all reals.

Not including units is the same thing, if you don't properly lable the data table, you could be talking about anything.

Not giving a proper unit/variable is almost like giving someone permission to assume what you're talking about
