Question

Water can easily dissolve mineral ions for transport around plants. This is a very useful property of water. What term is used to describe this property?

Answer 1

Polar. Water is given the term “universal solvent”. Being polar, it allows it to create hydrogen bonds with many different molecules

Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer to this question is: Polar and Universal Solvent

Explanation:

       Polar is the right term to describe this water's property, but remember, there are plenty more properties that are very helpful, but let's talk about this one. Being a polar molecule means that one side of your molecule is more electronegative than the other one. You can check that on the image below, take a look at it:

         And that's why water can easily dissolve mineral ions, these ions are too very electronegative, so it's easy for water to dissolve it. Water is too a universal solvent, and that means that water dissolves most substances without much effort.
