Question

State the type of Bonding in the following molecules:
Water.

Answer 1

In water $H_{2}O$ molecule, two $O-H$ covalent bonds are present. Each $O-H$ covalent bond is formed when O atom and H atom shares one electron each. O atom is $s{p}^3$ hybridized.
O atom has 6 valence electrons out of which 2 are involved in forming 2 $O-H$ bonds. The remaining 4 electrons appear as 2 lone pairs of electrons. The electron pair geometry of water is tetrahedral and molecular geometry is bent.
