    Gets pretty deep the more you think about it. There are 0 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Does that mean the sun is a negative star?

    What I’m saying is, life has no meaning.

      I tought a water molecule is 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen? Or does it not count as an atom anymore when it’s part of a molecule?

        Technically molecules consist of ions, not atoms. Though now that I look it up, they’re used more or less interchangeably in English in this context.

          I would argue that all ions are still atoms. More importantly, not all water molecules ionize under regular conditions, the vast majority in fact remains in molecular form.

          Dosen’t that depend on the type of bond between the atoms? Ions are created only if there is a ionic bond. Water has covalent bonds so it dosen’t create ions.
