Abstract
One of the most abundant molecules in our planet is water. Its unique properties come from its exceptional structure comprising two atoms of hydrogen chemically bound with highly electronegative Oxygen atom. The different affinity of H and O atoms towards the shared electrons of the two covalent bonds makes the water highly polar molecule, able to make intramolecular hydrogen bonds between its molecules. This property keeps the water in liquid state at normal conditions. It is considered as one of the most universal solvents, and medium in which all biochemical reactions take place. It is a medium enabling transport of all substances that exchange between various compartments in living systems. Some of the chemical properties of water and its importance in pharmacy and medicine are elaborated in this lecture, written for Macedonian students on Macedonian language. Attention is paid to the mathematical consideration of important chemical equilibria taking place in water, too.
