Water Molecule Structure - H₂O Molecular Geometry Explained #199788 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a water molecule (H₂O) using a ball-and-stick representation: a central red sphere represents the oxygen atom, while two smaller light-blue spheres represent hydrogen atoms, connected by black bonds indicating covalent linkages. The molecule exhibits a bent shape (~104.5° bond angle), crucial for its polarity and unique properties like hydrogen bonding. Labels “H” and “O” identify each atom clearly for educational clarity.

Used in chemistry education, science textbooks, and online learning platforms to explain molecular geometry, polarity, and intermolecular forces; targets students and educators seeking foundational knowledge of water’s structure.
