Water molecule. Computer artwork showing the tetrahedral structure of a water molecule. This is the most common arrangement of liquid water molecules. It consists of four hydrogen atoms (blue) attached to a central oxygen atom (red). Two are covalently bonded to the oxygen atom, and two are attached by hydrogen bonds. For the labelled diagram see image: C008/9642.
