If the water molecule is linear
b)It would be highly reactive and d)It would be highly ionic.
Water molecule's nature
- A water molecule receives its unique polar nature because of the bend in its structure.
- If the molecule was linear, it would lose its polarity and would become highly ionic.
- Moreover, because of this slight disruption in structure, the molecule would become unstable and gain high reactivity which may even turn out to be explosive.
