Water Molecules, Water Droplets, and Hydrogen Bonding!!!!!

Difference between water droplets and molecules

Handy information and pictures of Hydrogen Bonds

What are water molecules?

Water, which is sometimes known as H20, is the most abundant and useful molecule on the surface of the entire earth. It composes of about 72% of the entire earth's surface as solid and liquid state in addition to being found in the atmosphere as a vapor.

The picture on the left is a picture of molecules in a water atom, showing its direct relationship with hydrogen and its interaction with oxygen, therefore creating a water molecule.

What are water droplets?
A drop or droplet is a small volume of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces.

The picture aside is showing a droplet of water fall from a regular household sink.

Is there a difference between water droplets and water molecules?

There is a difference between a pile of water molecules and water droplets. In water molecules, when five or fewer of them, they bond tightly in a cluster. But, when that sixth water molecule is joined inside of the group of molecules it completely changes. The bonds inside of the molecules reform and break down. That is how the water droplet finds its rounded shape. The bonds of the molecule are what gives it its uniquness.

                                                 Why do ice cubes float?

    Water is very strange when in its property of being frozen. The frozen form of almost every liquid is very strange. Although, water is different, water forms ice cubes which awkawardly floats on the top of water. This happens because of water molecules and hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds are placed between the water molecules.
