  2. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    2 O) is a simple triatomic bent molecule with C 2v molecular symmetry and bond angle of 104.5° between the central oxygen atom and the hydrogen atoms. Despite being one of the simplest triatomic molecules , its chemical bonding scheme is nonetheless complex as many of its bonding properties such as bond angle , ionization energy , and ...

  3. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    Water is unique because its oxygen atom has two lone pairs and two hydrogen atoms, meaning that the total number of bonds of a water molecule is up to four. [ 41 ] The number of hydrogen bonds formed by a molecule of liquid water fluctuates with time and temperature. [ 42 ]

  4. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Tetrahedral structure of water. In a water molecule, the hydrogen atoms form a 104.5° angle with the oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms are close to two corners of a tetrahedron centered on the oxygen. At the other two corners are lone pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in the bonding. In a perfect tetrahedron, the atoms would ...

  5. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water is the chemical substance with chemical formula H 2 O; one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. [26] Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at ambient temperature and pressure. Liquid water has weak absorption bands at wavelengths of around 750 nm which cause it to appear to have a blue color. [4]

    Groundwater – Water located beneath the ground surface; Body of water – Any significant accumulation of water, generally on a planet's surface Salt waterWater that contains a high concentration of dissolved salts Seawater – Water from a sea or an ocean; Ocean – Body of salt water covering most of Earth

  7. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    A thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide. The sparks flying outwards are globules of molten iron trailing smoke in their wake. A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. [1]

  8. Direct bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_bonding

    The diffusion of water is mentioned as limiting factor because water has to be removed from the interface before close contact of surfaces is established. The difficulty is that water molecules may react with already formed siloxane-groups (Si-O-Si), so the overall energy of adhesion gets weaker. [2]

  9. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    In thermolysis, water molecules split into hydrogen and oxygen. For example, at 2,200 °C (2,470 K; 3,990 °F) about three percent of all H 2 O are dissociated into various combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, mostly H, H 2, O, O 2, and OH. Other reaction products like H 2 O 2 or HO 2 remain minor. At the very high temperature of 3,000 ...
