The number of atoms of oxygen in a compound depends completely on what the compound is. Some compounds, like water, have one oxygen atom. Some, like carbon dioxide, have two oxygen atoms. More complex compounds can have three, four, or even more oxygen atoms.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoJust one. The formula of water is H2O. If there is no number after an element's symbol, then it is understood that there is one of that atom in the compound.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoH2O is the formula for water so there is only 1 oxygen atom in a water molecule .

Additional answer.
Yes!! What a fool question! Doesn't anyone think for themselves these days
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThere are 2 atoms of Hydrogen in water. Just look at H20. The 2 behind the H means that there are 2 atoms of Hydrogen.
Wiki User

What is an atomic compound?
A compound that is made up of atoms , eg. water .
Dose water contain half as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms?
No, the chemical formula for water is H2O. This means that for every oxygen atom in the compound, there are two hydrogen atoms. Thus, the number of hydrogen atoms in water is double the number of oxygen atoms.
How many uranium atoms are present in this compound?
Which compound
How many different atoms are there in a compound?
Depends on the compound. The formula of that compound will tell you how many atoms are in it. Some compounds are pretty simple, like water. The formula for water is H2O. That means 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen (no subscript means 1.) So, two different types of atoms for a total of three. Or, you might have a compound with the formula of C8H10N4O2. That's caffeine. Count up all the subscripts for each element and you get a total of 24 atoms in that one. And there are plenty of compounds out there with more than that!
How many hydrogen atoms would it take to make a stable compound with oxygen?
For the water molecule (H2O) two hydrogen atoms are needed.
Is it true that water is not a binary compound because a water molecule contains three atoms?
No.Water is a binary compound. A binary compound contains two elements, regardless of the number of atoms of each.
Is water an example of an atom?
Water is a compound. A molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms. Oxygen and hydrogen are both elements. Water is a compound. A molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms. Oxygen and hydrogen are both elements.
Water is a because it is formed from atoms of two elements?
Water is a COMPOUND because it is formed from atoms of two elements.
