Answer:

The molecule that is neutral, meaning it has no charge

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, water is good at dissolving ions and polar molecules, but not non-polar molecules.

A polar molecule on the other hand is one that's neutral, or has no charge, but has an asymmetrical internal distribution of charge, leading to partially positive and partially negative regions.
