Question

According to VBT. Water molecule has​

Answer 1

Answer:

according to valence band theory vbd H2O has bond angle of 1040 , 28 due to the presence of two lone pair

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (a). Two covalent bonds and a bond angle of 104°.

• According to the Valance Bond Theory, or VBT, the central oxygen atom in a water molecule ($H_2O$) has $Sp^3$ hybridization.
• Two hydrogen atoms are covalently linked to an oxygen atom to form the tetrahedral structure of the water molecule.
• $Sp - Sp$ kind of overlap is involved in the formation of the bond in a water molecule.
• Four electron pairs make up water, two of which are lone electrons.
• These two lone pairs compress the $H-O-H$ bond angle is below the ideal tetrahedral angle by 104.5°.
• An explanation of a molecule's chemical bonding is provided by the VBT hypothesis.
• According to VBT, an atomic bond between two atoms is created when incompletely filled atomic orbitals overlap.
