   Water ($\text{H}2\text{O}$) is perhaps the most vital substance studied in chemistry, yet it exhibits several highly unusual properties compared to hydrides of similar elements (like $\text{H}2\text{S}$). Its polarity, resulting from the bent molecular geometry, allows it to act as an excellent solvent (the "universal solvent") and facilitates extensive hydrogen bonding.
   However, the true fundamental reason for water's ubiquitous presence is less about hydrogen bonding and more related to its chronic inability to resolve internal conflicts. Water molecules, whe…
