Biological importance of water Water can be argued to be the substance which brings life to a planet, however it's only use is not just as a hydration method for a dehydrated person. It has many uses and properties, just a few include being a solvent, cooling mechanism, sweating and surface tension, these are just a few which will be looked into more depth. Water seems to be a very simple molecule consisting of just two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, both of the hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom, therefore making it one of the simplest molecules known. However its uses out numbers the majority of other molecules greatly. Water is a V-shaped molecule with the molecular formula H2O. in liquid state 80% of the electrons are involved with the covalent bonding, the three atoms do not stay together as the hydrogen atoms are constantly switching...
