Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. That’s why water is sometimes referred to as H2O.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is a Polar Covalent Molecule Water (H2O), like hydrogen fluoride (HF), is a polar covalent molecule. When you look at a diagram of water (see Fig. 3-2), you can see that the two hydrogen atoms are not evenly distributed around the oxygen atom.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water (H2O) is the most common hydrogen polyoxide, occurring widely on Earth’s surface.
