Can a water molecule have two different isotopes of hydrogen?
LincMad
Sure. There is nothing to control that both hydrogen atoms are of the same isotope - which specific hydrogen atoms combine with an oxygen atom basically depends on chance. Thus, considering that about 1 out of 5000 hydrogen atoms is heavy hydrogen (deuterium), that means that about 1 out of 2500 water molecules will have one deuterium atom (since there are two options for a deuterium atom to attach; whereas only 1 out of 25 million (i.e., 5000 squared) will have TWO deuterium atoms.
And also molecules as HTO, DTO, T2O are possible (D is deuterium, T is tritium).

If water was non polar molecule how would the properties of water be different?
Water would not be able to for hydrogen bonds
If water was a non polar molecule how would the properties of water different?
Water would not be able to for hydrogen bonds
If water is non polar molecule how would the properties if the water be different?
Water would not be able to form hydrogen bonds
What shape would a molecule of hydrogen sulfide have?
A hydrogen sulfide molecule, H2S, has a bent shape, similar to that of a water molecule.
A water molecule is an example of a what?
Water is an oxide of hydrogen.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a molecule of water?
The number of neutrons will vary depending on the isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in the molecule. The number of protons and electrons will be 10 each in every molecule.
The hydrogen side of a water molecule is?
The hydrogen side of a water molecule has a slight positive charge.
What evidence is there that hydrogen peroxide and water are different compounds?
Their chemical formulas are different ! Water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a single molecule - yielding the formula H2O. Hydrogen peroxide has a extra Oxygen molecule - giving the chemical formula H2O2

What are the bonds that hold hydrogen and oxygen called?
In water and many other compounds hydrogen and oxygen are held by covalent bonds.Between water molecules and between other polar molecules hydrogen of one molecule and oxygen of a different molecule are held by hydrogen bonds.
In both liquid water and ice a hydrogen bond forms between .?
A hydrogen bond forms between the hydrogen(s) of one water molecule, and the oxygen molecule of another water molecule.
If water is non polar molecule how would the properties if the water be different?
Water would not be able to form hydrogen bonds
Why does water and hydrogen peroxide have different properties?
They are totally different compounds, even though they both contain hydrogen and oxygen. The ratios of the elements are not the same. The formula for water is H2O, and for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. In a molecule of water, two hydrogen atoms are chemically bonded to one oxygen atom, whereas in one molecule of hydrogen peroxide, there are two atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen bonded together. This makes them completely different compounds with different properties.
What is a water molecule?
A combination of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
What is the difference between hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fussion?
In fuel cells the hydrogen is oxidised to water. In fusion 2 different isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) fuse together to form helium.
