I get what you are saying, it is unintuitive that you can call a water molecule water. Because water, when found in nature, is always a mixture, right? Needs more than a single substance to be a mixture.

Entertain this, though: a group with a single element is still a group.

Wouldn't you say a pure water substance can be reduced to a single water molecule? It still is pure water substance.
