Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is called the universal solvent. It is a polar molecule (105 degree angle between the H atoms) that gives it a + and a - side so to speak....which allows it to 'pull apart' substances....overcome their intra-molecular attractions to each other ...i.e. disssovle them
