What things does water have in it?

Water is a molecule containing one oxygen and and two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to each other (oxygen to hydrogen). As a whole, observable water is simply many of these molecules 'stuck together' by hydrogen bonds that form between the oxygen atom of one molecule and the hydrogen atom of another.


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.


Why does oxygen molecule go slower than hydrogen molecule?

Because the hydrogen molecules are further apart than the oxygen so move quicker.


How many molecules of oxygen is need to make water?

None. A water molecules contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen only contains oxygen.


What is carbonhydrate made of?

Molecules containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms


Organic molecules are made up of what?

The definition of an organic molecule is 'carbon containing.' The hydrogen is not necessary, but is often present.


What happens to water when it is heated?

Firstly, there are two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule that make up water. These hydrogen molecules are bound by hydrogen bonds to the oxygen molecule. Hence the meaning of H20. 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen. The hydrogen molecules that are bound to the oxygen molecule are broken at high temperatures therefore water (in liquid condition) is turned into water vapor (gas condition).


What is H2O translated to?

Water H= Hydrogen O=Oxygen 2=is the number of Hydrogen molecules for each Oxygen molecule.


Are there 2 of the same molecules in water?

Yes. Two Hyrdrogen molecules, one Oxygen molecule. The Hydrogen molecules are each bound to Oxygen at an odd angle making the molecule polar


Where is majority of negative charge on the water molecule?

Water molecules consist of hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules. Most of the negative charge comes from the oxygen molecules while the hydrogen molecules carry the positive charge.


How does the composition a mixture of hydrogen differ from the compound containing hydrogen and oxygen?

The compound is water - H2O; the molecule of hydrogen is H2.
