Water is considered the universal solvent primarily because water is a polar compound because its ends have opposite charges. This polarity allows water molecules to interact with various solutes, breaking them apart and dissolving them effectively.

• Water molecules are weakly bonded to other water molecules.
• Water is a polar compound because its ends have opposite charges.
• Water dissolves more substances than any other solvent.
