Based on VSERP theor explain the structure of water. |

Answer» Solution :Electronic CONFIGURATION of `O, 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2p^(4)` Valence ORBITAL representation. 1 When `2s^(2)` orbital hybridised with `2p_(x), 2p_(y) and 2p_(z)` forms the following `sp^(3)` hybridisation structuree. 2In `21s^(2) and 2p_(x)^(2)`, the electrons are paired up hence they are not involved in bond formation called loan paired of electron (L.P) 3. When `sp^(3)` hybridised O combines with 2 hydrogen atom forms Bond structure water. |
