Question

What would happen if water molecules were sraight instead of angled?

Answer 1

water would taste 50000 million times better!!! yummayyy

Answer 2

They would have no dipole moment for the molecule and solubility that depends upon polarity would not occur. Therefore, many, if not almost all, of the compounds soluble in water now would not be soluble. It certainly would not be called the universal solvent.
