If the water molecule was linear instead of bent, water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds. It will lose its polar properties and nearly all of its properties will change such as boiling point, water tension and solubility. It would be closer to gas, rather than liquid.
If the water molecule was linear instead of bent is Water would no longer produce hydrogen bonds as being linear will not form covalent bonds.
The water molecule isn't always linear however bent in a unique way. The hydrogen atoms are sure to the oxygen atom at an attitude of 104.5°
Water is NOT linear, it is bent. We already recognize the electrons withinside the bonds are shifted towards the oxygen atom. More importantly, the 2 unshared electron pairs on oxygen imply that one vicinity of the molecule has extra electron density than the relaxation of the molecule.
Thus explained.
