Question

according to valance bond theory water molecule has
A)-2 dative and bond anle 90
B)-2 covalent bonds and bond angle 90
C)-2 dative bonds and bond angle 104.5
D)-2 covalent bonds and bond angle 104.5

Answer 1

Answer:

D)-2 covalent bonds and bond angle 104.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

(D) According to valance bond theory water molecule has 2 covalent bonds and bond angle 104.5.

Explanation:

• In a water molecule, the electrons will be shared by both oxygen and hydrogen forming a bond called covalent bond.
• Both hydrogen and oxygen are nonmetals and thus it forms a covalent bond.
• The average angle between the orbits which has bonding electron pairs in the molecule is known as bond angle.
• Bond angle can be denoted as degree or minute.
• Water has a bond angle of 104.5° and it is a triatomic bent molecule.
• The bond angle 104.5° is formed between oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
• Therefore, option D is correct.
