How many pairs of valence electrons are there on the oxygen atom in the water molecule?

There are 4 valence electrons on the oxygen atom in the water molecule. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, and in a water molecule, oxygen forms 2 covalent bonds with the hydrogen atoms, sharing 2 of its valence electrons with each hydrogen atom.


How many valence electrons if oxygen and hydrogen combine?

When oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water (H2O), oxygen contributes 6 valence electrons (group 16, 6 electrons) and each hydrogen atom contributes 1 valence electron (group 1, 1 electron), resulting in a total of 8 valence electrons in the water molecule.


What is the valency of water?

Zero. The valence of hydrogen is plus 1, and the valence of oxygen is minus 2. Water is H2O, i.e. each molecule of it consists of two hydrogen atoms combined with one oxygen atom. Adding the valences of the components, we obtain zero as water's valence (charge).


Which atom in a water molecule has the greatest electronegativitity?

Hydrogen I'm sorry "youarewhatyoubelieveyouare", but this answer isn't correct. Oxygen has the higher affinity for electrons... that's why, in a water molecule, each hydrogen has a positive and the oxygen has a double negative charge... the oxygen is attracting more of the electronic cloud towards itself than the hydrogen...


Is a water molecule formed from 1 oxygen atom and 1 hydrogen atom?

No. The molecule for water is H2O, meaning each water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.


The molecule of water is a combination of?

The molecule of water is of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio-1;2.


How many atoms does water make up?

There are three atoms in a molecule of water. One oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. The simplified form for the molecule of water is H2O which is a coded form for the 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms that make up the molecule.


How many atoms of oxygen are in a water molecule?

This is one atom of oxygen in a molecule of water. There are two atoms of hydrogen in that same molecule.


What is the ration of hydrogen to oxygen atoms in a water molecule?

The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms in a water molecule is 2:1, with two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom.


How many molecules of hydrogen does water contain?

A molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule of hydrogen contains two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, one molecule of water contains one hydrogen molecule, but it is unusual to think in these terms. Check the wording of your question.


Why are 2 hydrogen needed for every oxygen atom in the formation of water?

There is a concept in chemistry called valence, which is the number of bonds an atom can form to make a stable compound or molecule. Oxygen has a valence of 2, meaning it needs 2 bonds to form stable molecules. Hydrogen has a valence of 1. So, to satisfy the valences of both elements, two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom.


The water molecule is made up of the bases?

Water molecule contain hydrogen and oxygen.
