Respuesta :
A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom, and its overall structureis bent. This is because the oxygen atom, in addition to forming bonds with the hydrogen atoms, also carries two pairs of unshared electrons.
Answer:
Explanation:
The structure of water molecule is very simple . it's has a central oxygen atom ( which has a valency of two ) . Since it's valency is two , it can two hydrogen atoms to both of it's sides ( which have a valency of one )
Structure :
H-O-H
Water is known as amphoteric substance , as it has the ability to act as either a base or an acid ( depending upon the substance it's reacting with ) . On top of that a very electro negative oxygen atom reacts with an electro positive hydrogen gives the molecule a strong bonding force ( which results in a molecule that is held by hydrogen bonding , which is a very strong attraction) . And when its bonded with some strong electro forces of attraction , Guess what happens ? It's boiling point increases !!!! ( It means you have to heat it up more to boil water ) . Which also means it has high heat of vaporization ( to get water into it's vapour state ) .all of that just because it has high forces if attraction between one another ...
