What is so special about liquid water?

To my understanding, water has no nutritional value. It has nothing in it. It’s simply just water.

That said, why is it so crucial to life?

The reason water is so good at dissolving stuff is because it is a ***polar*** molecule. One side has a small positive charge, the other a small negative charge. This simple fact basically makes life here possible.

It’s polar because it’s shaped like a boomerang. If the atoms were in a straight line it wouldn’t be polar.
