Which of the following properties best describes why water dissolves more substances than any other liquid?
A
Atomic Structure
B
Universal Solvent
C
Boiling Point
D
Density
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, water makes an excellent solvent, meaning that it can dissolve many different kinds of molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is, of course, another key property of water because more substances dissolve in water than any other common liquid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water is called a ‘universal solvent’ because water can dissolve much more substances than any other liquid found in nature but water cannot dissolve every substance. For example-water cannot dissolve fats, waxes, and hydroxides due to the low solubility of oppositely charged particles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. This has to do with the polarity of each water molecule. The hydrogen side of each water (H2O) molecule carries a slight positive electric charge, while the oxygen side carries a slight negative electric charge.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water’s extensive capability to dissolve a variety of molecules has earned it the designation of “universal solvent, ” and it is this ability that makes water such an invaluable life-sustaining force. On a biological level, water’s role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients.
