A water molecule, because of its shape, is a polar molecule. That is, it has one side that is positively charged and one side that is negatively charged. The molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The bonds between the atoms are called covalent bonds, because the atoms share electrons.
What makes water an excellent solvent? Water is a good solvent because it is polar or contains a highly  positive hydrogen atom and highly negative oxygen atom. It  dissolves salts that are polar and highly polarâ¦ gases like carbon  dioxide. Making the world better, one answer at a time.
