    I would argue that all ions are still atoms. More importantly, not all water molecules ionize under regular conditions, the vast majority in fact remains in molecular form.

      Yes, ions are non-neutral atoms. However, the polar bond in H₂O technically means that the atoms in the molecule are ionized.
