Which of the following best describes water's ability to dissolve certain substances such as glucose, but remain separate from other substances such as oils? (Choice A) Water molecules are polar, consisting of two partially positive hydrogen atoms, and one partially negative oxygen atom. (Choice B) Water has an overall negative charge, which allows it to easily dissolve nonpolar substances like glucose. (Choice C) Due to hydrogen bonding, water is more dense as a liquid than as a solid. (Choice D) Water molecules can only form hydrogen bonds with polar molecules, such as glucose.
