       Water molecules have a bond angle of 104.5 degrees, which is the result of   VSEPR   (  Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion ) geometry (see   here  ).       The bonding electron pair shared by each  H  and the central  O  atom lies further f

  Polarity of the water molecule  is responsible for how it interacts with charged ions, such as Na+ and Cl-.
       Water associates with the charged (hydrophilic) outer and inner surfaces of the bilayer cell membrane.  However, the dipole charge of the water molecule limits its ability to freely traverse the uncharged (hydrophobic) lipid interior.
       The weak hydrogen bonds formed between water molecules are responsible for many of the unique properties of liquid water.
