A water molecule consists of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded in a bent shape. Oxygen however, attracts the shared electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. This structure leads to which important property of water? a. Water is non-polar, which means it has an uneven distribution of charge making it a good solvent of other non-polar molecules. b. Water is non-polar, which means it an an even distribution of charge making it a good solvent of polar molecules. c. Water is polar, which means it has an even distribution of charge making it a good solvent of non-polar molecules. d. Water is polar, which means it has an uneven distribution of charge making it a good solvent of other polar molecules.
