Describing Water Molecules Which of these statements would be true if the water molecule was linear instead of bent? Check all that apply. Water molecules are polar. Water molecules are nonpolar. Water molecules undergo hydrogen bonding. Water molecules have a linear geometry. Water molecules have a bent geometry.
The statements that are correct about water molecules are:
Water molecules are polar.
Water molecules undergo hydrogen bonding.
Water molecules have a bent geometry.
Water is polar molar due to the unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles - a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side).
Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another.
Water has a bent shape is that the two lone pair of electrons are on the same side of the molecule.
