Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. it is often called the

Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent.  This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge. 


Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted  towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule. 


However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.

What decides if an atom will be a cation or an anion?
JulijaS [17]

The loss or gain of electrons

Explanation:

The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.

A cation is a positively charge ion

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:

 Protons are the positively charged particles

 Electrons are negatively charged

  Neutrons carry no charges

Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.

When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.

When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

Ganezh [65]

Answer: option B. - A, B, D, E, C, H, F, G is correct using the principle of cross-cutting relationships.

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through.

Explanation:

The full sequence of events is:

1. Layer A formed.

2. Layer B formed

3. Layer D formed.

4. Layer E formed

5. After layers A-B-D-E were present, intrusion C cut across all three.

6. Fault H formed, shifting rocks E through A and intrusion C.

7. Weathering and erosion created a layer of soil on top of layer F then G.
