पर्याय

• It can dissolve a maximum number of compounds.

• It has a very low dielectric constant.

• It has a high liquid range.

• It has high surface tension.

Answer 1

It has a very low dielectric constant.

Explanation:

Water has a high dielectric constant of 82, a wide spectrum of liquid, and can dissolve most chemicals. It serves as a universal solvent as a result.
