Explain the structure of water molecule ? |
|
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 structure. 2. In `2s^(2)` and `2p_(x)^(2)`, the ELECTRONS are paired up hence they arenot involved in bond formation called loan paired of electron (L.P.) 3. When `sp^(3)` hybridised O combines with 2 hydrogen atom forms Bond STRUCTRUE water. |
