A. Its atoms share electrons equally.
B. It can dissolve all known substances.
C. Its molecules are farther apart in the solid state than in the liquid state.
D. It has a lower specific heat than nearly all known metals.

Water is a polar solvent and therefore it will dissolve only polar molecules. Organic compounds like hydrocarbons are non-polar and will not dissolve in water

C. True

In the solid state i.e. in ice the hydrogen bonds are oriented such that the H2O molecules get pushed apart which also makes ice to have a lower density than water

D. False

Water has the highest specific heat value of 4.18 J/g C
