- The atomic attraction in the whole extended, interconnected molecule that we experience as liquid water forms a surface film that water bugs can walk on without wetting their feet. You can carefully float a needle atop a glass of water and the attraction of the water for itself prevents it from sinking.

- Water can be broken down into two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen are two gasses. If a chamber is filled with oxygen and hydrogen and they will remain as gasses. If energy is added - as a spark - there is an explosion and the gasses move into a new relationship - water.

- Water is not hydrogen and oxygen, it is a special relationship of these two elements in a constantly moving association.

- The hydrogen atoms move from one oxygen atom to another, rolling around them to give water its liquid motion. Because all the atoms in a bottle of water are in ever changing relationships, they form one large, continuous molecule. The ocean is - on the atomic level - one large molecule that extends up all the rivers as one interconnected whole.
