10 3.1 The statement
Water is called a universal solvent because it can dissolve ionic compounds and compounds with polar molecules — the majority of the substances which matter to life.
It is not truly universal: it does not dissolve non-polar substances such as oil, wax and petrol ("like dissolves like": polar solvents dissolve polar and ionic solutes; non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes).
