A model for H2O is shown in the chem3D window. H2O has bent geometry. This geometry is sometimes called angular or V-shaped geometry. ball & stick + labels Rotate the molecule until you have a feeling for its three-dimensional shape. How many atoms are bonded to the central atom? Consider the bond angle at the central atom. What is the approximate numerical value of this angle? v degrees. You could view this geometry as being derived from a trigonal planar molecule by removing one atom, or as being derived from a tetrahedral molec by removing two atoms. Which does the bond angle suggest? | For practice, type in the name of the geometry of the molecule:
