Question

What is the molecular shape of water?

A. linear


B. pyramidal


C. bent (I assume this is the answer.)


D. tetrahedron

Answer 1

Bent

Step-by-step explanation:

Water has 4 regions of electron density around the central oxygen atom (2 bonds and 2 lone pairs). These are arranged in a tetrahedral shape. The resulting molecular shape is bent with an H-O-H angle of 104.5°.

Answer 2

Yes, bent is correct :)
