Long description

Figure 6

This is a schematic diagram of a water molecule.

The oxygen atom is represented by a circle, shaded red and labelled 'O'.

The hydrogen atoms are represented by a circle, shaded grey and labelled 'H'.

1 oxygen atom is connected to 2 hydrogen atoms and the connection is shown by an narrow elongated rectangle shaded pale orange.

The water molecule has an 'L' shape with the oxygen atom at the corner and the 2 hydrogen atoms radiating out from this corner.

There is a dashed black line that radiates from the oxygen atom to each of the hydrogen atoms, along the connecting rectangle.

These dashed lines extend past the hydrogen atoms and they are then connected by a solid black line in the shape of an arc with directional arrow heads at either end.

The arc represents the angle of the 'L' shape or the angle between the two hydrogen atoms and is labelled '105°'.
