Question

which type of molecules is water good at dissolving? large molecules small molecules polar molecules nonpolar molecules

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Water is a polar molecule. According to the "like dissolves like" principle, polar solvents (water) dissolve polar solutes well. Non - polar molecules are not well - dissolved in water as there is no strong interaction between non - polar and polar molecules. The size of the molecule (large or small) is not the main determining factor for solubility in water compared to polarity.

Answer:

C. Polar molecules
