It is an odorless, tasteless, colorless liquid. Its chemical formula is H<sub>2</sub>O, two hydrogens and one oxygen atom.
an odorless, tasteless, colorless liquid. Its chemical formula is H<sub>2</sub>O, two hydrogens and one oxygen atom.
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. Although we are accustomed to think of the word "solvent" in connection with organic solvents like gasoline or benzene, water is a powerful solvent, a fact that is sometimes overlooked because water is so familiar.
