Water molecules have a bent shape.
Water molecules have a bent or V-shape due to the repulsion between the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.
PCL5: Trigonal bipyramidal shape PH3: Trigonal pyramidal shape OF2: Bent shape ClO4-: Tetrahedral shape
In a water molecule, there are two lone pairs of electrons connected to the oxygen. The lone pairs push the hydrogen atoms, creating a bent shape. In CO2, however, there are two double bonds and no lone electrons on the central atom, hence the molecule has a linear shape.
Bent does not apply to a water molecule. Water molecules have a bent shape due to the arrangement of the hydrogen atoms around the oxygen atom. Polar, organic, and covalent are all characteristics that can be used to describe water molecules.
Methanol has a tetrahedral shape. Oxygen by itself would have a bent shape when bonded with hydrogen and carbon
The general shape is "bent".

Water does! H2O!

No, PCl5 does not have a bent shape; it has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In PCl5, the phosphorus atom is at the center with five chlorine atoms surrounding it, resulting in a symmetrical arrangement. The bond angles are 90° and 120°, characteristic of this geometry. A bent shape typically occurs in molecules with lone pairs on the central atom, which is not the case for PCl5.
OF2 has a bent shape.
Bent Out of Shape was created in 1983-05.

The ion that has a bent shape is the sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻). However, it is important to specify that the bent shape commonly refers to molecules like water (H₂O) or certain other compounds with a similar configuration, rather than a single ion. In these cases, the bent shape arises due to the presence of lone pairs on the central atom, which repel the bonding pairs of electrons. In contrast, the sulfate ion has a tetrahedral arrangement but is often confused with bent shapes due to similar molecular geometries.
