Summary
DescriptionWater molecule - structure and dipole moment.png |
English: The water (H2O) molecule has a bent structure due to the lone pair - bond pair interactions (VSEPR theory). The angle between the O-H bonds is 104.45 degrees. Oxygen being more electronegative than hydrogen , results in a bond dipole moment of 1.5D in both the O-H bonds. The bent structure of the molecule causes it to have a net dipole moment of 1.84D which is the vector summation of the individual bond dipoles. |
