The polarity of water makes it able to dissolve many compounds. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
ANS: T
Water is a polar molecule. Water's geometric formation causes the atoms of hydrogen to have a
partially positive charge and the oxygen to be partially negative. This allows the molecules to be
attracted to other polar molecules. If a substance is held together by the attraction of opposite forces,
water is able to pull it apart. Information can be found in the section The Water Molecule Is Held
Together by Chemical Bonds
