Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge. Let me know if that helps
