Vedclass · Answer

(C) The image shows water molecules $(H_2O)$ surrounding ions ($Cl^-$ and $Na^+$). Water is a polar molecule with a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms. Because of this polarity,water molecules can surround and hydrate ions,effectively dissolving ionic compounds like $NaCl$. This ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances makes water an 'efficient solvent' or 'universal solvent' in biological systems.
