In addition to mass, we can also measure how big a molecule is. A water molecule is about 0.27 of a nanometer across. DNA is about 2 nanometers across and can stretch out to meters in length. Amazing, when you think about that length of DNA being stuffed inside a cell. But that is because it is so thin, about 1/1,000,000,000 as thick as it is long.
Now the molecule also has a bent shape, and angular shape, so that the molecule itself is a polar molecule. As a result, water is an excellent solvent for other polar molecules, particularly those which have hydrogen bonded to either oxygen or nitrogen atoms. This is because it is possible to have hydrogen bonding between the molecules. Water is also an excellent solvent for both positive and negatively charged ions. With a positively charged ion, water molecules can surround the ion with the negative oxygen end nearest the positive charge and with the negative ion, a water molecule can have its positively charged hydrogen end closest to the ion.
