Dihydrogen monoxide the scientific name for regular water, which is vital for life.
Water can be dangerous when inhaled, through water intoxication, or in its radioactive tritiated form.
Instances Where Dihydrogen Monoxide Really Can Kill You
While dihydrogen monoxide contains oxygen, each molecule only contains one atom. You need O2 to breathe and carry on cellular respiration. So, if you try to breathe water, you could die.
If you drink too much water, you can suffer a condition called water intoxication or hyponatremia. People have died from it.
There are different forms of water. Heavy water has the exact same molecular structure as regular water, except one or more of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with deuterium. Deuterium is hydrogen, but each atom contains a neutron. You naturally drink a tiny bit of heavy water with regular water, but if you drink too much of the stuff, you'll die. How much? A single glass probably won't harm you. If you keep drinking heavy water and manage to replace about a quarter of the hydrogen atoms in your body with deuterium, you're a goner.
Another form of water is tritiated water, where the hydrogen may be replaced with the tritium isotope. Again, the molecular formula is exactly the same. A tiny amount of tritium won't harm you, but it's worse than deuterium because it's radioactive. However, tritium has a relatively short half life, so if you have tritiated water and keep it for a few years, it will eventually be safe to drink.
Deionized water is purified water that has had its electrical charge removed. It's useful in the science lab, but it's not a chemical you want to drink because it's reactive and corrosive.
Drinking deionized water can damage soft tissues and tooth enamel. While people don't tend to die from drinking pure deionized water, making it one's sole water source is ill-advised. Normal drinking water contains minerals essential to human health.

That was a bit much 😂

Ozone (O3). Rain water has a lot of ozone. Which many find refreshing.

The rain smells nice.
