Yes water is made from one part Oxygen and two parts Hydrogen.
If one were to mix pure Oxygen and Pure hydrogen in these proportions and then set a spark, there would be an explosion as the Hydrogen burned very rapidly to form steem. Such a mixture is very, very dangerous. This is the mixture introduced into the rocket engine to propel an Atlas Rocket.
Please be warned do not play or experiment with hydrogen gas it is dangerous. You should also keep away form pure Oxygen as other materials catch fire and burn very easily and fiercely when the % of Oxygen (normally about 20%) in the air increases.

∙ 11y agoThe oxygen atom requires 2 electrons to complete its valence (outer) shell. Hydrogen is special in that it can either give or take one electron and still be stable. So hydrogen gives its electron to oxygen, and two hydrogen fills up all of oxygen's valence shell, and it forms water.

∙ 10y agoHydrogen + Oxygen --> Water 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
During this reaction, the covalent sigma bond of the hydrogen molecules and the covalent pi bond of water molecules are broken. What we have now are two different ions, H+ and O2-.
2H+ ions will form a covalent sigma bond with one O2- ion by the sharing of electrons in order for hydrogen ions to achieve duplet and oxygen ion to achieve octet. The final product is H2O, which has a structural formula of H-O-H.

Is hydrogen and oxygen a compound?
Hydrogen is an element. Oxygen is an element. Hydrogen reacts with Oxygen to form a compound which is called water and has the formula H2O. Hydrogen and Oxygen can also form another compound called Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
What does Hydrogen combine with to make water?
Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water. The reaction is two molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) and one molecule of oxygen gas (O2) to form two molecules of water (H2O).
What is the word form of h2o?
2 hydrogen 1 oxygen
Is hydrogen gas just hydrogen combined with oxygen?
No, Hydrogen gas is the diatomic element H, so it appears in nature as H2. The most common form of Hydrogen combined with Oxygen is H2O, or water.
What is the chemical name of sodium and oxygen?
Sodium and water, in absence of air or oxygen, react to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. When there is a slight amount of oxygen in the reaction mixture this will immediately and explosively react with hydrogen to form water. That's why this is a dangerous reaction.
What is the name of the compound oxygen and hydrogen can combine explosively to form?
The compound oxygen and hydrogen can combine explosively to form water.
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make water from hydrogen?
Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make hydrogen and oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.
Why is hydrogen inert at room temperature?
Hydrogen is not inert it reacts explosively with Oxygen to create water H2O
What happens to Hydrogen gas when exposed to flame?
If there is oxygen present it will burn (explosively)
Does hydrogen leave residue on burning?
Nothing is left because hydrogen is an element, from which only water is formed when burning (explosively) with oxygen.
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water oxygen is?
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, water is a product of the reaction.
Is Hydrogen an element and Oxygen an element flammable in element form?
hydrogen is but not oxygen
Can hydrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen bond covalently.
Does hydrogen burn explosively?
Hydrogen burns explosively. That's why Lead Acid batteries are never tested for water level with live flame.
What two type of bonds do water molecules form?
Hydrogen and oxygen are the component of elements of water, which give water the chemical formula H2O. There's plenty of oxygen in our air; about 20% of our air is oxygen. Hydrogen, however, isn't so common. It's so light that it rises straight up into the upper atmosphere and often just keeps going right into space.
Can hydrogen and oxygen make helium?
Hydrogen an react with oxygen to form water and not helium
