The dictionary refers to it as ‘a colourless, transparent, odourless liquid, which forms the seas, lakes, rivers and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms’. Science breaks it down into a molecular formula – H2O – with each of these molecules containing one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. What is unique about water though, is that it nourishes, even though it has no real nutrients so to speak of!
