* Two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom by covalent bonds.
* The molecule has a bent or V-shape due to the two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.
* This bent shape gives water its polarity, meaning one end of the molecule has a slightly positive charge and the other end has a slightly negative charge.
While the molecular structure of water vapor is the same as liquid water, the molecules are much more spread out and move freely in the gaseous phase. This is because the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together in liquid water are much weaker in the gas phase.
