Why do you think a water molecule is bent and not linear?
Owen AmbroseVSEPR theory tells us water has a bent shape.
The central oxygen atom has four pairs of electrons. Two pairs are shared in single covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms. The other two pairs are not shared with any other atom (non-bonding pair).
Water has an AXE designation of
Xavier AveryThe arrangement of an electron pair around the oxygen atom in a water molecule causes repulsion between the pairs, which pushes the hydrogen atoms closer together and bends the molecule.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
