1 for each hydrogen and 8 in the oxygen nucleus = 10
The number of neutrons will vary depending on the isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in the molecule. The number of protons and electrons will be 10 each in every molecule.
Water isn't an atom, its a molecule. One molecule of water is two hydrogen atoms (1 proton each) and one oxygen atom (8 protons each). Thus the total protons is 1+1+8 = 10 protons in one molecule of water.
A water molecule (H2O) has 10 protons.
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).
One normal water molecule has 2 protons plus the quantity of 8 protons and 8 neutrons. That it is a total of 18 nucleons. As all nucleons have 3 valence quarks, then there are 54 quarks in 1 normal water molecule.
Hydrogen: 1 Proton, 0 Neutrons Oxygen: 8 Protons, 8 Neutrons Water: 9 Protons, 8 Neutrons. Yy
The charge on the molecule H2O (water) is neutral, meaning it is electrically balanced with an equal number of protons and electrons.
Each hydrogen atom has 1 protons and the lone oxygen atom has 8 protons (because it is atomic number 8) making for a grand total of 10 protons in each H2O molecule.
8 protons
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.
Although a water molecule has an overall neutral charge (having the same number of electrons and protons), the electrons are asymmetrically distributed, which makes the molecule polar. This polarity makes them bond together weakly.
10 protons, 8 (or more, up to 14) neutrons
