The model shown is a molecular model representing a water molecule (H2O). It consists of two hydrogen atoms (blue balls) covalently bonded to one oxygen atom (green ball), illustrating the bent shape of the molecule due to the polarity of the O-H bonds.
A model shows a molecule of water. The model shows two small blue balls attached to a larger green ball with one stick attaching each blue ball. A legend shows that the blue balls are H and the green ball is O. A chemical formula shows H2O.
In one to two sentences, identify the type of model shown and describe the atomic structure of a molecule of water.
