Question

The first molecule the student constructs is that for water. An image of the model is shown.
The model indicates that water is a molecule.
o linear
O trigonal planar
O bent
O tetrahedral

Answer 1

C) bent

Reminders:

•Linear would mean that it is completely straight

•Trigonal planar would mean that there’s 3 bonds attached to the centre atom (in this case it’s oxygen)

•Tetrahedral would mean that there’s 4 bonds attached to the centre atom
