The chemical formula for water is H<sub>2</sub>O, two [[hydrogen]] and one [[oxygen]] [[atom]], or dihydrogen monoxide.
The chemical formula for water is H<sub>2</sub>O. It is made up of two [[hydrogen]] [[atom]]s and one [[oxygen]] [[atom]], or dihydrogen monoxide.
The shape of the water [[molecule]] is a shallow V, with the oxygen in the middle and having an angle of approximately 105°. Since oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, the interactions between the atoms result in the oxygen atom having a partly negative charge and the hydrogen atoms having a partly positive charge. Thus the water molecule is a strong electrical [[dipole]], which accounts for some of its properties.
