a. Water is an effective solvent because it is a polar covalent molecule. b. Water is an effective solvent because of the strong ionic bond between hydrogen and oxygen, c. Water is an effective solvent because it is a neutral molecule. d. Water is an effective solvent because its molecules dissociate when dissolving covalent molecules.
Water has a high di-eledtric constant which separates ions in a molecule. Hence these ions fit into the inter-particular spaces and the substance is dissolved. The correct option would be 1.
