Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen is the central atom in water molecules. ... Therefore, two hydrogen atoms form 1 sigma bond (each) with the central oxygen atom. The total number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the oxygen atom is 2. Therefore, according to the VSEPR theory, water molecules have a bent shape (they are V-shaped).
