There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.
Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

Answer:
Electrons are so small that it does not affect the mass of atom .
Explanation:
Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9.11 × 10^-28 grams, or about 1/1800 of an atomic mass unit. Therefore, they do not contribute much to an element's overall atomic mass.
To determine the diameter of the earth in metres first multiply the original value by 2.
6378 X 2 = 12 756 km.
Then convert km - m
1 km = 1000 m
12 756 km = ? m
12 756 • 1000 = 12 756 000 = 12 756 000 m or 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m
The final solution for the diameter is 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m.
