Water's polarity makes it an excellent solvent for **ionic** and **polar** molecules.
Ionic compounds dissociate into their constituent ions when dissolved in water, while polar molecules can engage in hydrogen bonding and other interactions with water, enhancing their solubility. Nonpolar molecules, on the other hand, do not dissolve well in water due to the lack of polar interactions.
