`H_2 O`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the geometrical shape of the water molecule (H₂O), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the central atom The central atom in H₂O is oxygen (O). ### Step 2: Determine the valence electrons Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. Each hydrogen atom contributes 1 electron, giving a total of 2 electrons from the two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the total number of electrons around the oxygen atom is: - 6 (from O) + 2 (from 2 H) = 8 electrons. ...
