Why is water considered the universal solvent? a. Water is a polar compound because its ends have opposite charges.

b. Water molecules are weakly bonded to other water molecules.

c. Water dissolves more substances than any other solvent.

d. Water molecules are held together by covalent bonds.

idk what the question is about

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
