Based on VSERP theor explain the structure of water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronic configuration of `O, 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(4)`
Valence orbital representation.

1 When `2s^(2)` orbital hybridised with `2p_(x), 2p_(y) and 2p_(z)` forms the following `sp^(3)` hybridisation structuree.
2 In `21s^(2) and 2p_(x)^(2)`, the electrons are paired up hence they are not involved in bond formation called loan paired of electron (L.P)
3. When `sp^(3)` hybridised O combines with 2 hydrogen atom forms Bond structure water.
