What is the difference between bound and free water?
i'm currently working on a big chemistry project and can't find any information on this topic. Could somebody please help me out.

Free water is the water that is physically "connected" to a molecule/crystal. For example CuSO4*5H20. Five molecules of water are connected to the CuSO4, giving it a blue, crystaline look. when heated, the hydrate loses the water transforming into CuSO4 which is a while amorph (non-crystaline) compound.
Bound water is the water that works as a ligand in a complex compound, for example [CoCl4(H2O)2]- . The two molecules are part of the chemical compound/anion and cannot be removed by physical ways(heating), only by chemical ways (changing the chemical structure of the compound)
Bound water is water occurring
inside living cells. There has been a claim that somehow bound
water is chemically different from non-bound water, i.e., water
occurring outside living cells. Let me be more specific about what
"bound water" might mean.
(1) Bound water might be water with a chemical structure different
from non-bound water.
(2) Bound water may be water with the same chemical structure as
non-bound water, but functioning in a way it never does outside
living cells.
This question has to do with what are parts and wholes which in
turn has implications for questions about creation & evolution as
well as for questions about science and Christianity. Thanks to
any one who can provide a lead.
