Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Water is a good solvent. This is due to high -
A
specific heat of water
B
heat of fusion of water
C
surface tension of water
D
dielectric constant of water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is High Dipole moment. The high dipole moment property of water makes it a good solvent.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Generally, the dielectric constant () of a solvent is a measure of its polarity. The higher means, higher the polarity and greater is the ability of the solvent to stabilize the charge.
