Water (H2O) is formed by a covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. While different isotopes of both do exist, the most common would be Hydrogen-1 and Oxygen - 16, resulting in 8 neutrons (all from the oxygen), 10 protons (8 from the oxygen and 1 from each hydrogen), and 10 electrons (in the same manner as the protons).

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in H2O?

A water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The proton, neutron and electron count of them are 1,0,1 and 8,8,8 respectively. Therefore a molecule of water has 10 protons, 8 neutrons and 10 electrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons does water have?

There will be a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons (one from each hydrogen and eight from oxygen). The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of hydrogen and oxygen. And for the most stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen, there will be 10 neutrons in H2O.


Does a water molecule have more protons than electrons?

No, a water molecule contains the same number of protons and electrons. In a water molecule (H2O), there are 10 protons (2 from each hydrogen and 8 from oxygen) and 10 electrons (2 from each hydrogen and 8 from oxygen).


How many bond pair electrons in H2O?

There r 4 bonded electrons in h2o and 4 unpaired electrons


What is the charge on HOH?

The charge on the molecule H2O (water) is neutral, meaning it is electrically balanced with an equal number of protons and electrons.


How many unpaired electrons are present in the Fe(ox)(H2O)2 complex?

The Fe(ox)(H2O)2 complex has four unpaired electrons.


What happens with FADH2 donates its electrons to the electron transport chain and what are the final products?

Complex II is reduced and FADH2 is oxidized becoming FAD, the electrons continue down the electron transport chain providing the power to pump protons into the intermembrane space ( not as many protons as NADH because of the short delivery of FADH2 electrons to complex II ) where they fall down their concentration gradient through the synthase. Our electrons exit complex IV into the matrix where oxygen picks up two electrons and two protons forming water. 2H + 1/2O2 --> H2O.


How many electrons are there in a molecule of H2O?

hydorgen: 1 electron Oxygen: 8 electrons Therefore 10 electrons


How many electrons does a water molecule have?

A molecule of of H2O has 10 electrons: two from the hydrogen and 8 from the oxygen.


Where does the H2O come from in the light reaction?

In the light reactions of photosynthesis, water (H2O) is sourced from the surrounding environment, typically from soil and absorbed by plant roots. When light energy is captured by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts, it splits water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons in a process called photolysis. The oxygen is released as a byproduct, while the protons and electrons are used in the subsequent stages of photosynthesis to produce energy-rich compounds.


How man protons are in a water molecule?

A water molecule (H2O) has 10 protons.


What organelle produces H2O as a by-product?

The chloroplast is the organelle that produces oxygen (O2) as a by-product of photosynthesis, not water (H2O). Water is actually one of the reactants used during photosynthesis, which is split into oxygen, protons, and electrons.
