Because H2O is a bent molecule, it becomes polar with oxygen negative and the hydrogens positive. This means any polar solute will dissolve in water.
If water wasn't bent, then it would always be a gas, be nonpolar, and wouldn't mix with any polar molecules.

∙ 13y agoWater is an excellent solvent for all the substances,which are very important for all the processes of life.The salts dissolve to a much greater degree in water than in any other solvent.The solvent potential of wateris due to dipolar nature of its molecules,which causes it to orient itself aroundcharged particles dissolved in it.

What liquid makes water a bad conductor of electricity?
There are many liquids which are very bad conductors of electricity. these are basicall the type which are covalent in nature. examples: 1.)carbon tetrachloride, 2.)Benzene etc etc other organic fluids (fats etc) even pure water( i.e absolutely pure no impurity no contamination) is a good insulator.
What conducts electricity when mixed with water?
Water in general is a good conductor of electricity. Anything wet will therefore be a good conductor (this makes it dangerous to get certain things wet).Actually, pure (distilled) water is not a good conductor; the fact that water usually IS a good conductor is due to diverse substances dissolved in water, such as salts - the ions make the water a good conductor.
When using pure h2o in water will it affect the color in plastic?
water is pure h2o(depending where you get it) dummy your question makes as much sense as a rock moving.
When sugar is added to water does this make a pure substance or a mixture?
It makes a mixture.
Why is salty water not pure water?
it is because salty water is made of the dirty water which come from mountains melted water its small salty particles makes all the water salty thats what the reason is about salty water
When the structure of pure water makes it a good what?
solvent
Does water conduct electricity well?
Pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity. Dissolving an ionic compound in water makes the solution a very good conductor.

Why solty water is not pure?
If you mean salty, it is because salt makes you thirsty

What does 'Pure' mean in science?
Pure In science means those substance which have only one component in it.Like milk when not mixed with water is said to be pure because it has only one component that is the milk but water is also mixed with it,there are two components viz.milk and water which makes it impure.
What makes water pure?
"Pure water" is a term usually used to refer to water that is just water- with no other materials dissolved in it. Almost all water has some materials (Salts, minerals, etc) dissolved in it, so obtaining truly "pure" water (Just H20) must often be accomplished by artificial means.
Why is pure iron not good in terms of structure?
it's too soft(maluable), too heavy and rusts or corrodes.
