Line 3:
Line 3: − Its chemical formula is H<sub>2</sub>O, two hydrogens and one oxygen atom.+
this can be read as "hydrogen oxide"
Water is an odorless, tasteless, colorless liquid. When people describe the flavor of water they are referring to impurities found in it (see [[mineral water]], [[bottled water]]).

The chemical formula for water is H<sub>2</sub>O, two hydrogens and one oxygen atom. While this can be read as "hydrogen oxide", such usage is rare (see also [[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°. 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.
