If water was a non polar molecule how would the properties of water be different

What are polar and non-polar molecules?

→ A polar molecule is a molecule which contains both negative and positive charges in one moleucle, although they're not that strong. You might say they're haf positive and half negative (but not neutral).

→ A non-polar molecule is a molecule which is either sharing an equivalent amount of electrons between the atoms inside it, or because it has a symmetrical, linear geometry. In these molecules, there is also no dipole.

How does that affect the water's properties?

So, just a tiny atomic-sized change can influence on how the water interacts with their environment. No matter how small the change is, if it changes a basis of the waters properties, it'll affect the properties itself, of course.

Moving on to the changes. What are some noticable changes?

We can see in the 2 explanations above, that, there is a difference between bonding and atom aranging in non-polar and polar molecules. This can affect things such as surface tension, and the hydrogen bonds.

We also see there is a difference in the charge of atoms, and therefore the charge of the molecule, which can affect conductivity and the interaction of water with other molecules specially ions.

→ There will also be more physical changes, rather than only chemical ones, but the 2 above are the most noticable and probably important ones.

the truman doctrine was an american foreign policy whose stated purpose was to counter soviet geopolitical expansion during the cold war. it was announced to congress by president harry s. truman on march 12, 1947, and further developed on july 12, 1948, when he pledged to contain threats to greece and turkey.
