It’s balanced on the spectrum scale at a 7. Through 1-14

HOH is how it looks and when it’s in chemical form.

When chemicals start with the letter H it’s an acid and when it ends with an H it’s a Basic and this causes (HOH) -> H2O to be a balanced liquid.

Water is also polar

Firstly, water has a unique set of properties that enables the Earth to sustain life.

Water is polar, and so water molecules can be allured to many different molecules, allowing water to liquefy other substances.

Water is considered in which they call a 'universal solvent' and this is because it diffuses more substances than other liquids.
