Water is a universal solvent is true
Explanation:
- Because it can absorb more chemicals than any other liquid, water is described as the "universal solvent."
- This is essential for all living things on earth. It enables the water molecule to be attracted to a broad range of other molecules.
- The oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water molecules are oriented polarly, with one side (hydrogen) maintaining a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) having a negative charge.
- Water is a protic solvent.
- Aprotic solvents like acetone and dichloromethane have large dipole moments and solvate positively charged species via their negative dipole moments.
