          Wait, but this doesn’t mean it’s A molecule, it has at least like three of them.

          Also, water isn’t normally just H2O, but it contains more stuff. We still call that water.

              No, sorry, not trolling. I just think water is not A molecule, but a bunch of molecules, so I don’t know if technically a molecule of water would count as water.

              I don’t understand the controversy, I didn’t mean to offend you.

                I get what you are saying, it is unintuitive that you can call a water molecule water. Because water, when found in nature, is always a mixture, right? Needs more than a single substance to be a mixture.

                Entertain this, though: a group with a single element is still a group.

                Wouldn’t you say a pure water substance can be reduced to a single water molecule? It still is pure water substance.
