Question
the molecule water (h₂o) has a shape in its lewis dot structure.
Brief Explanations
In the Lewis - Dot Structure of water ($H_2O$), the oxygen atom has two bonding pairs with hydrogen atoms and two lone pairs. According to VSEPR (Valence - Shell Electron - Pair Repulsion) theory, the repulsion between the lone pairs and bonding pairs causes the molecule to have a bent shape.
