Water is the most common solvent. Use computer animations to observe how water interacts with various solutes and infer why the substance does or does not dissolve. Become a water sleuth and observe how substances behave in water. Then, infer whether the substances are made of charged particles or molecules. Assess your learning with a 5-item quiz. |
