Water can dissolve more substances than any other liquid because
A.it is dipolar in nature
C.it has high value of specific heat
B.it is a good conductor of heat
D.it is an oxide of hydrogen
Correct Answer: Option A
Water is known as the universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide array of substances, surpassing any other liquid.
This exceptional dissolving power stems from its polar nature. Water molecules, composed of hydrogen with a partial positive charge and oxygen with a partial negative charge, exhibit a dipolar structure.
This polarity enables water molecules to readily attract and interact with other molecules, facilitating the dissolution process.
Therefore, option (a) is correct.
