Air molecules is a little vague, the air that we breath is a mixture of mainly nitrogen (72% or so) oxygen and carbon dioxide. A water molecule is H20, two hydrogen polar covalently bonded to one Oxygen. Besides for the two bonds to H the oxygen also has 2 lone pairs of electrons. To spread the charge the molecule has a bent shape. Due to the difference in electronegativity between H and O and the shape of the molecule water is polar. This allows water to hydrogen bond which connect s the H from one molecule to the O of another molecule, holding water together as a liquid. When you boil water these intermolecular forces are overcome and each individual molecule separates from each other, creating water vapor ( which is water in the gas phase). However, each individual water molecule remains the same.

Most molecules comprising our atmosphere are smaller than water molecules. However Earth's atmosphere still has many substances comprised of molecules that are much larger than water molecules.

Air molecules, as such, don't exist. Air is a mixture of many substances, some elemental, some compounded, including water and many types thought of as pollutants. Some of the compounds include, or are attached to, water molecules.

No? When you open water, the water molecules have contact with the air molecules. BUT! does the water turn into bubbles? I don't think so.

Why does air compress and water doesn't?

Air has larger spaces between the molecules as compared to those in water molecules so air compresses to a greater extent than water.

What is the difference between water moulecules air vs cold air?

The water molecules in cold air are moving more slowly than those in warm air. Additionally, because the other air molecules are packed more closely together, less water molecules can fit between them. Consequently, the absolute humidity of cold air when saturated with water molecules is lower than that of warm air.
