Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA is in the shape of a double helix
Answer:
C) polarity
Explanation:
The polar nature of water molecules allows it to dissolve like molecules, such molecules are also polar.
- In water molecules hydrogen bonds provides a special dipole - dipole attraction.
- Here, the hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine).
- This leads to a charge separation in which the hydrogen atom has net positive charge and the electronegative one has negative charge.
- This makes the molecule of water polar.
- By this property water easily attracts oppositely charged portions of another substance and then pull them into solution.
This property of water is polarity of water.
