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.
Answer:
element.
.it is pure substance composed of only one type of atoms.
.the number of element is more than 118.
compound.
.a compound is composed of atoms of two or more elements.
.the number of compound is very large in comparison of elements.
hope it help
I think the best answer is b): it contains particles that can settle out.
The definition of suspension is a heterogeneous (that is same in all parts) mixture that contains particles that could undergo sedimentation (settle down) - this definition is close to b). It should not matter whether those particles are nutrients( so A or C are not good answers).
