Question

Suppose oxygen was much less electronegative than it is, so that hydrogen-oxygen bonds were much less polar and hydrogen bonds could not form between water molecules. How would the properties of water most likely change?

Answer 1

water would have a much lower boiling point much like its other hydrides and it would loss its ability to dissolve polar substances plus it couldn't form water columns so no more cohesion between water molecules

Answer 2

A) Its boiling point would decrease C) Ice would sink in liquid water.
