The above given figure is the correct electron dot structure of a water molecule.Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A True
A hydrogen atom has one valence electron while an oxygen atom has six valence electrons. In order to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration, the oxygen atom shares one electron each with hydrogen atoms and forms two single bonds. Also, oxygen has two unshared pairs of electrons.
