Question

question 2 / 2
how have we been representing or drawing water?
a. as two oxygen atoms connected to one hydrogen atom.
b. as two hydrogen atoms connected to one oxygen atom, often in a “v” shape.
c. as three hydrogen atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms in a line.
d. as a single hydrogen atom by itself.

Explanation:

Water has a chemical formula of H₂O, meaning it consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. The molecular - geometry often gives it a V - shape due to the electron - pair repulsion around the oxygen atom.

Answer:

B. As two hydrogen atoms connected to one oxygen atom, often in a “V” shape.
