In addition to mass, we can also measure how big a molecule is. A water molecule is about 0.27 of a nanometer across. DNA is about 2 nanometers across and can stretch out to meters in length. Amazing, when you think about that length of DNA being stuffed inside a cell. But that is because it is so thin, about 1/1,000,000,000 as thick as it is long.
The chemical formula for water is H 2 O which means that every molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and one atom of oxygen (O). Here comes the key part. From the Periodic Table of Elements, one sees that one mole of hydrogen atoms weighs 1 gram while one mole of oxygen atoms weighs 16 grams.
