if water where a nonpolar molecule how would its properties be different

divyansh101dabral: if it was non polar then it wouldn't dissolve ionic compounds like NaCl and acid solutions would not exist as there would be no ionisation which is needed to produce hydronium or hydroxyl ions

hey. mate...

Nonpolar molecules are hydrophobic; "hydro-" means water and "-phobic" means fear. Nonpolar molecule are water fearing and do not easily dissolve in water. These molecules have nonpolar covalent bonds or polar covalent bonds, both of which share their electrons equally between the bonded elements. The shared electrons make it difficult for the electrons to be drawn away by oxygen's electron-loving properties. Thus the molecules are strong and stable and do not break apart easily.
