Waters makes it excellent solvent for salts like sodium chloride as well as other substances required by cells to carry out metabolic processes

The right answer is polarity.

In chemistry, polarity is a characteristic describing the distribution of negative and positive charges in a dipole. The polarity of a bond or a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity between the chemical elements that compose it, the differences in charge that it induces, and to their distribution in space. The more the charges are distributed asymmetrically, the more a bond or molecule will be polar, and conversely, if the charges are distributed in a completely symmetrical manner, it will be apolar, that is to say non-polar.

Polarity and its consequences (van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding) affect a number of physical characteristics (surface tension, melting point, boiling point, solubility) or chemical (reactivity).

Many very common molecules are polar, such as sucrose, a common form of sugar. The sugars, in general, have many oxygen-hydrogen bonds (hydroxyl group -OH) and are generally very polar. Water is another example of a polar molecule, which allows polar molecules to be generally soluble in water. Two polar substances are very soluble between them as well as between two apolar molecules thanks to Van der Waals interactions.

The correct answer is "polarity"

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

The correct answer is "polarity"

Polarity is a chemical property that some substances have that allows them to separate charges at each end.

In the case of the water molecule, it has a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom and partial positive charges near the hydrogen atom. This helps the solubility of certain substances and separates the ions of those substances.
