Question

Which of these substances most likely dissolve in water? check all that apply.

Answer 1

The answer is:

glucose, a polar organic compound

silver nitrate, an ionic compound

The two have net charges that enable them to attract with water molecules. Water molecules are partly charged because of the arrangement of electron clouds around the molecule. The oxygen atom in the molecule is more electronegative than the two hydrogens. Therefore water is able to form electrostatic attraction forces with the charged molecules
