Water

H₂O·18.015 g/mol·Inorganic·CID 962
EssentialSolvent

The most abundant compound on Earth's surface and the universal solvent essential for all known life. Its bent molecular geometry and hydrogen bonding give it anomalous properties like high boiling point and surface tension.

IUPAC: oxidane

Also known as: 7732-18-5, Distilled water, Dihydrogen oxide, Purified water, Sterile water (+14 more)
