Explanation:

The figure SHOWS the electron dot structure of water.

Explanation:

Before knowing, the electron dot structure of any compound or element has a known electronic configuration of each element.

Electronic configuration of H_{2}OH

2

O (water)

H (1) = 1

O (8) = 2, 6

For the electron dot structure, we only CONSIDER valance electron (OUTER most sell electron), in Hydrogen and Oxygen valance electron, are 1 and 6 respectively.

Let that the abbreviation valance electron for Oxygen and Hydrogen cross (×) and dot (.) respectively.

Electron dot structure of H_{2}OH
