Question

Which of these statements would be true if the water molecule was linear instead of bent? Check all that apply.

The molecule would be polar.

The molecule would contain polar covalent bonds.

Water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds.

The special properties of water would still be exhibited.

Answer 1

2 and 3 are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If the water molecule was linear instead of bent the water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Yes, If the water molecule was linear instead of bent the water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds.
• The water would no longer generate hydrogen bonds.
• It will lose its polar features and nearly all of its features will change such as boiling point, water tension and solubility.
• It would be more like to gas, rather than liquid.
• If the water was in the linear, the water would have all the features and it would produce the hydrogen bonds.
