What physical properties of water cause it to be such a good solvent

Biology
1 answer:
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Water, which not only dissolves many compounds but also dissolves more substances than any other liquid, is considered the universal solvent.

It is water's chemical composition and physical attributes that make it such an excellent solvent. Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules. Water can become so heavily attracted to a different molecule, like salt (NaCl) that it can disrupt the attractive forces that hold the sodium and chloride in the salt molecule together and, thus, dissolve it.  So this make water a good solvent.

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that are derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst before implantation. These cells have potential of treating a wide range of diseases and conditions, which is attributed to the fact that they have; self renewal property meaning that they can ploriferate indefinitely, the cells also have the special ability to differentiate into cells with specialized characteristics and functions.

tia_tia [17]

The term <u>Ataxia</u> means the lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement.

  • Poor muscle control that results in awkward voluntary movements is known as ataxia.
  • It might make it difficult to move your eyes, speak, or walk steadily. It might also make it hard to coordinate your hands.
  • Ataxia is typically caused by injury to the cerebellum, which regulates muscular coordination, or its connections.
  • Ataxia is typically brought on by damage to the cerebellum, a region of the brain, although it can also be brought on by injury to the spinal cord or other nerves.
  • The spinal cord, which extends the length of the spine and connects the brain to every other part of the body, is a lengthy bundle of nerves.
