COMPOSITION

Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.

Two volumes of hydrogen combine with one volume of oxygen

STRUCTURE

An atom of oxygen is bound covalently to two atoms of

hydrogen.

Tetrahedral angle of 104.5° between the two O–H

bonds.

a) Oxygen atom has two lone electron pairs Four H bondsb) Hydrogen bonds through its two H atoms to two other water molecules (forming network)
