Water is a simple triatomic molecule
Water dissolves ionic compounds and polar covalent molecules best
The rule is: "Like dissolves Like".
All ionic compounds are electrolytes
Solids will dissolve if the attractive force of the water molecules is stronger than the attractive force of the crystals
Water doesn't dissolve nonpolar molecules because the water molecules can't hold onto them
Dilution reduces the moles of solute per unit volume
