Expert Solution
Step 1

Water is a precious element on earth and it makes the hydrosphere of earth. This inorganic molecule is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Water is very vital for life on earth and the very first life forms appeared in the water. In various forms water covers a large area of our planet and most of the earth's water content is in oceans.
