Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The only true statement is: c. Water dissolves polar and ionic substances.
Detailed explanation-2: -Option 3 is Correct. The water molecule has a bent-shaped structure. In water, two hydrogen atoms are attached to one central atom of oxygen by covalent bond, making an angular spatial structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -The five main properties of water are its high polarity, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, low density as a solid, and attraction to other polar molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water is the most abundant molecule in the Earth’s atmosphere. The statement D, that is, water is the most abundant molecule in the atmosphere of the Earth is false.
