Question

1. how does the structure of the water molecule lead to its ability to dissolve polar compounds? it exists in all three phases on earths surface. it is a bent compound. it is a polar compound. it expands when it freezes.

Explanation:

A water molecule is polar due to its bent - shape and the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen. The polarity allows water to dissolve polar compounds through ion - dipole or dipole - dipole interactions. Non - polar compounds are not dissolved well in water as water is polar.

Answer:

It is a polar compound
