If one assume linear structure instead of bent structure for water then which on of the following properties cannot be explained ? .

A

The formation of intermolecular hydrogen bond in water.

B

The high boiling point of water

C

Solubility of polar compounds in water

D

Ability of water to form coordinate covalent bond.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If the structure of water is linear, then `mu = 0,` hence it will be non-polar and thus the solubility of polar compound in water cannot be explained.
