Substances that dissolve into a solvent are called solutes, and the resulting mixture is a solution. Water is an excellent solvent because its polar water molecules form hydrogen bonds with ions and polar molecules, allowing ionic and polar covalent compounds to disperse easily in water.

Answer:
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 wateror positive-charged regions of other molecules.
