The model of H2O depicted is typically a ball-and-stick model, which represents the molecular structure of water. A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom, forming a bent shape with a bond angle of about 104.5 degrees due to the presence of lone pairs on the oxygen atom.
In one to two sentences, identify the type of model of H2O shown and describe the atomic structure of a molecule of water.
