hello friend here's your answer
☆☆☆Water is known as an universal solvent as it can dissolve a large number of organic and inorganic substances and salts.
☆☆☆ for example water kept in a glass bottle for some days leaves etchings on the surface of glass which is because it dissolves some amount of glass too although very little.
☆☆☆water is a polar covalent compound.it has a high dielectric constant. it breaks the electrostatic bonds between compounds and dissolves a large number of substances.
hence it is known as an universal solvent.
