Discuss the chemical structure and properties of water molecules and explain why water makes a good solvent in living cells. 1. Include a description of the molecular make-up of water molecules and the contributions of intermolecular (between molecules) and intramolecular (within a molecule) bonds in your discussion. You may use diagrams or sketches to illustrate your points.

2. Explain why water is a good solvent in living cells.

H2O is a tetrahedron shaped which has a partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on the two hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

water is a good solvent because it is charged. This property helps dissolve and move ions and polar molecules in the body of organisms.

other properties of water are: water molecules are cohesive and adhesive, high specific heat capacity, high heat of vaporisation, surface tension, water can form ions etc

the match lol
