    It can be a bit difficult with these ‘what if we remove this fundamental force’ questions, because they are so fundamental that the rule screws up further reasoning about the situation, but:

    Assuming bonds in a body just ‘disappeared’ by magic: Instant decompression would happen at molecular level.

    There would be no puddle or even visible dust. All molecules - mostly H and O - in our body would instantly be de-constructed in to individual atoms - in effect turning into a compressed gas, and I guess that the lighter elements would ‘boil off’ so fast that our whole body of compressed gas would explode rather violently.
