A molecular combination of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

A molecule, consisting of one central oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms along an angle of 104°, forming an electrostatic dipole because of the asymmetric distribution of charge. The dipole results in a high dielectric constant for water, whether in vapor, liquid, or solid form. ...amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse
