In an idealized molecule of water, H 2 O , \text{H}_2\text{O}, what kind of triangle is formed by the locations of the H \text{H} and O \text{O} atoms?

Right triangle Isosceles triangle Equilateral triangle Acute triangle Scalene triangle More than one of these choices

In an idealized water molecule, The H − O H-O bonds make an angle of 12 0 o 120^{o} . So If it is idealised, the bond lenght of the other two are same, So the triangle is I S O C E L E S \huge{\boxed{ISOCELES}}
