Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Water (H2O) is actually a bent molecule. Oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that do not bond with another atom. Since water is a tetrahedral molecule, the lone pairs must be adjacent to each other. When this happens, the lone pairs exert a repulsive force on each other effectively bending the entire molecule. This bent nature generates polarity in the water molecule
