Water dissolves more substances than almost any other liquid, because its molecules have slightly charged ends that pull particles apart; that is why it is called the universal solvent.
Who acts: Water, molecules, liquid charged ends, that · What happens: dissolve, have, charge, pull, be, call · To what, where: more substances, liquid charged ends, particles, Water · Speech: someone speaks here
