SeH₂ is linear because the selenium atom has a lower electronegativity than oxygen, resulting in a less pronounced lone pair-bonding pair repulsion. In contrast, H₂O has two lone pairs on the oxygen atom, which exert greater repulsion on the bonded hydrogen atoms, pushing them closer together and creating a bent molecular geometry. Additionally, the bond angles in water are influenced by the tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs, leading to a bond angle of about 104.5 degrees.

Why if CO2 and H2O both have 2 atoms around the central atom are they not the same shape?
Because H2O has electron pairs on the O atom which repel the H atoms more and change it's shape. Their electromagnetic repulsion is stronger than a lone electron and they push the H atoms away
What is the the shape (molecular geometry) of H2O?
The structure of the atom is a single oxygen atom connected to two hydrogen atoms separated at about 45 degrees ( I'm not sure about the exact angle ). As the molecules combine, they form a rare hexagonal shape when in a solid form.

Does H2O have a trigonal planar shape?
it is bent because it has two bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs
Why is SeH2 linear and not bent?
The molecule should have 2 atoms with 2 lone electron pairs and be in bent configuration.
What is the molecular geometry of SeH2?
Bent.
What is the molecular geometry of H20?
The molecular geometry of H2O is bent or angular. The oxygen atom is surrounded by two hydrogen atoms, resulting in a bent shape with a bond angle of approximately 104.5 degrees.
Is hydrogen peroxide linear?
Yes, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a bent molecule. It has a dihedral angle of about 111 degrees, causing it to be non-linear.

Is cl2 linear or bent?
It is linear.
Why BeCl2 is linear?
Both of the Cl ions have the same pull on the electrons; therefore, we can infer that this will be a symmetrical molecule. It will be linear because there are no free electron pairs to influence the shape. H2O is bent because of these electron interactions.
What is the molecular geometry of H2O?
Bent
What is SeH2?
SeH2 is the chemical formula for hydrogen selenide, which is a colorless, poisonous gas with a characteristic foul odor. It is formed from the reaction of selenium with hydrogen gas. Its main application is in the production of semiconductors and certain organic compounds.
What molecules has a bent shape?
Water does! H2O!
Is HCl bent or linear?
It is a di atomic molecule. They are always linear
Is HCN linear bent trigonal pyramid trigonal plane or tetrahedral?
