Why is water sometimes called the ""universal solvent?"".

Chemistry

Answer:

Water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. This has to do with the polarity of each water molecule. The hydrogen side of each water (H2O) molecule carries a slight positive electric charge, while the oxygen side carries a slight negative electric charge.

Dmitri mendeleev contribution to the periodic table.
Pepsi [2]

In 1871, a Russian Chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev, gave a useful scheme for classification of elements. He presented the first regular periodic table in which elements of similar chemical properties were arranged in eight vertical columns called groups. The horizontal rows of table were called periods. He arranged elements in ascending order of their  atomic masses and found that elements having similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals. This observation was called Periodic Law.
