Water
Water consists of two elements: 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, held together by covalent bonds (sharing electrons).
Oxygen atom: no charge (8 protons and 8 electrons)
Hydrogen atom: no charge (1 proton and 1 electron)

Waters Facts:
- Water is a transparent solvent that can exist in three forms: liquid, solid (ice) and gas (invisible water vapor).
- Water covers 70-75% of the Earth’s surface.
- The human body is 55-75% water
- Water is the universal solvent; no life can exist without it.
- H2O Molecules are held together by (Hydrogen) electrostatic bonds. Water molecules are always in flux, making and breaking bonds with neighboring water molecules very rapidly up to 160 billion times a second. The forces which are being broken are called Van der Waal forces. These are not the same forces as the intra-molecular force holding the H2O together. 1, 2, 3
