Lewis structure for H2O

The skeleton structure is H-O-H. O has 6 valence electrons, and each H has one. You must arrange 8 electrons in pairs so that O has 8 and each H has two electrons in its valence shell. You have eight valence electrons in your trial structure, so it has the correct number of electrons.

hope this helps please let me know if this does or or doesn't help best of luc! please rate?

Explanation:

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
