1.
The chemical formula of water is \(H_2O\), which means one oxygen atom (\(O\)) and two hydrogen atoms (\(H\)).
Hydrogen bonding is responsible for water's unique properties like cohesion (water molecules sticking to each other) and its ability to stabilize temperature (due to the energy required to break hydrogen bonds). Ionic bonds are between ions, non - polar covalent bonds are in non - polar molecules (water is polar), and peptide bonds are in proteins.
Water is called the “universal solvent” because it can dissolve many different types of molecules (due to its polar nature). Option B is about the state change of water, option C is a wrong description of what a solvent is, and option D is an over - exaggeration.
