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.
