In one to two sentences identify the type of model and describe the atomic structure of a molecule of water

Answer 1

Water (H₂O) is modeled as a polar covalent molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom, forming a bent molecular geometry with a bond angle of approximately 104.5 degrees due to the repulsion between the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom. This structure leads to its unique properties, including its solvent capabilities and surface tension.
