H2O is a molecular model representing the chemical structure of water, which consists of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom, forming a bent shape due to the two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom. This arrangement gives water a polar nature, with a partial negative charge near the oxygen and partial positive charges near the hydrogens.
In one to two sentences, identify H2O as the type of model shown and describe the atomic structure of a molecule of water.
