Answer:

yes. water is a polar solvent....

Explanation:

Water acts as a polar solvent because it can be attracted to either the positive or negative electrical charge on a solute. The slight negative charge near the oxygen atom attracts nearby hydrogen atoms from water or positive-charged regions of other molecules.

Answer:

Water is a polar molecule and also acts as a polar solvent. When a chemical species is said to be "polar," this means that the positive and negative electrical charges are unevenly distributed. The positive charge comes from the atomic nucleus, while the electrons supply the negative charge.
