What is 'oh' ?

If you mean 'OH' , This is the hydroxide anion and is correctly written as 'OH^-' , because it is a charged species.

The hydroxide anion is composed of 1 x oxygen and 1 x hydrogen atoms and 1 x excess electron.

You will find Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen(O) separately on the Periodic Table.

Also when writing up chemical symbols, please follow the following rules ; -

#1 Single letter elements ALWAYS have a capital letter .

#2 Two letter elements have a capital to start and ALWAYS a small case letter as the second letter. These are the international standard, followed world-wide.

Oh!!!! 'oh' does not mean anything chemically.

where is the number for OH in the periodic table?

'OH' does not appear in the periodic table. 'OH' is more correctly the hydroxide anion. and should be written as 'OH^-'. The 'O' is the elememnt Oxygen , which is No. 8 (Atomic No.) in the periodic table. and 'H' is the element Hydrogen, which is No.1 (Atomic No.) in periodic table. The hydroxide anion forms alkalis with metal e.g. sodium or potassium and their formulas are NaOH and KOH respectively. In Organic chemistry the 'OH' functional group forms alcohols, e.g. Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) and its formula is CH3CH2OH. This is the alcohol that is in beers wines and spirits.


Why is never or you can never find water on the periodic table?

Oh jeez. Alright, water is a compound, not an element. The things that water is made of are on the periodic table, and that is hydrogen and oxygen. But since it is more than one element it is a compound. That is like asking why isn't dog on the periodic table.

Is the atomic number of each element included in the periodic table?

YES!!! The atomic No. is the postition of the element in the periodic table. It also indicates the number of protons in the element and electrons in the neutral element. The Atomic Mass is also included in the periodic table. The Atomic Mass is the sum of all the protons and neutrons of an element in the periodic table. Here are some examples. Hydrogen ; [1/1]H The first element in the table Carbon ; [12/6]C The sixth element in the periodic table Oxygen ; [16/8]O The eighth element in the periodic table et.seq., The first number given is the Atomic Mass and the second number is the Atomic Number.
