Question

question 6 of 10 if water were a nonpolar molecule, how would its properties be different? a. water would form hydrogen bonds. b. water would be able to climb up inside plants. c. water would not stick together as well. d. water would be a much heavier molecule.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds form due to the polarity of water molecules. Non - polar water would lack the strong intermolecular forces that cause water molecules to stick together (cohesion). Capillary action (water climbing up plants) also depends on polarity - related forces. The mass of a molecule is determined by its atoms and not its polarity.

Answer:

C. Water would not stick together as well.
