Which of the statements given below are true for the structure of wate

1.	Which of the statements given below are true for the structure of water molecule ? (i) Oxygen undergoes sp^(3) hybridisation. (ii) Due to presence of two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen the H - O - H bond angle is 118.4^(@). (iii) Due to angular geometry the net dipole moment of water is not zero, mu = 1.84 D.
Answer» (i) and (ii) (ii) and (III) (i) and (iii) only (ii) Solution :DUE to presence of two lone PAIRS of electrons on oxygen atom the bond ANGLE H-O-H is `104.5^(@)`.
