A water molecule is made of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.
H - O - H (we write it shortly H2O for didactic purposes).
Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, which looks like this:
H - O - H

<= hydrogen bond

∙ 15y agoWater is made up of molecules. each molecule consists of 3 atoms - 2 of hydrogen and 1 of oxygen. That is why the formula for water is H2O (where the '2' is small and subscript).

What are 3 main particles that make up an atom?
i think the carbon oxgen and water :P
What is the name of the particle which makes up all other subatomic particles?
Quarks are the particles that make up protons and neutrons. There are no particles, as far as we know, that make up electrons.
What tiny particles make up molecules?
atomic particles
Are the particles in a mixture all the same?
ones which do not bond of chemically react eg. sand salt and water is a mixture. to separate you just filter the sand and then heat the salt and water. they do not chemically combine.
What are particles that make up a compound called?
Molecules make up a compound.
What kind of particles make up wind?
Loosen particles
What does All particles of one substance are identical really mean?
simply all particles of one substance are identical means just that. all of the particles that make up a piece of matter are the same. an example of this is water. if you look at water under a microscope, you will see that all of the particles that make up the water are identical.
What kind of particles make up compounds?
Compounds are composed of elements. Elements are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons).
What materials make up noctilucent clouds?
The materials that make up noctilucent clouds are tiny water Ice crystals and dust particles.
What material make up the soil?
particles, minerals, decayed organic materials, water, air.

What do air and water have in common?
Water and air are both fluids. The particles that make them up can 'flow' and move around from place to place
What five material make up soil?
Particles, Minerals, Decayed organic materials, Water, Air
What happens to particles that make up your body when you touch cold water?
our receptors receipts it !! that's all
What are the names of the particles that make up soil from the smallest to the largest particles?
The names of the particles that make up soil from the smallest to the largest particles are clay, silt, and sand.
What particles that make up matter are in a state of?
Particles that make up matter are in a state of constant motion.
What is silver made up of?
Pure silver is made up of the element silver. Any further down and you are talking about the particles that make up atoms-- protons, electrons, neutrons and related sub-atomic particles. All of these particles are exactly the same no matter what kind of atom they are part of.
