Answer:

Molecular shapes are important in determining macroscopic properties such as melting and boiling points, and in predicting the ways in which one molecule can react with another.

Yes, a shape of a molecule does matter.

The shape of a molecule helps to determine its properties.

For example, water molecules have a bent structure. This is one reason why water molecules are polar and have properties such as cohesion, surface tension and hydrogen bonding.

I hope this helps!
