Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

The water molecule, like the ammonia and methane molecules, has a tetrahedral domain geometry. In the water molecule, two of the electron pairs are lone pairs rather than bonding pairs. The molecular geometry of the water molecule is referred to as bent . The H-O-H bond angle is 104.5°, which is smaller than the bond angle in NH 3 .


Q: In the water molecule, two of the electron pairs are lone pairs rather than what?

 Choices:

- bonding ions

- acid pairs

- ions pairs

- bonding pairs

A:
bonding pairs
