Question

what is the relationship between dissolved substances and water molecules in the ocean? dissolved substances repel water molecules dissolved substances do not interact with water molecules dissolved substances interact with water molecules, creating unique properties dissolved substances attract water molecules

Explanation:

When substances dissolve in water (like in the ocean), they interact with water molecules. This interaction can lead to new properties (e.g., changes in density, freezing point). Water is a polar molecule, and dissolved substances (often ions or polar molecules) are attracted to it (not repelled). The option stating no interaction is incorrect as dissolution implies interaction. The option about attraction is too simplistic compared to the more comprehensive "interact...creating unique properties" which better describes the scientific relationship.

Answer:

Dissolved substances interact with water molecules, creating unique properties
