Question
water is the primary solvent in our body fluids. which statement about water and its solvent properties as solvent is correct? answer fats and oils are hydrophilic. chemicals that dissolve in water are hydrophobic. water is an ion because it is polar. the oxygen end of the water molecule is partially negatively charged and the hydrogen end is partially positively charged. i dont know yet
Fats and oils are hydrophobic, not hydrophilic. Chemicals that dissolve in water are hydrophilic. Water is a molecule, not an ion, though it is polar. In a water molecule, due to electronegativity differences, the oxygen end is partially negatively charged and the hydrogen end is partially positively charged.
