When hydrogen and oxygen are combined how many of these atoms are compounds?

An atom is not a compound. A compound is a pure substance that is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically combined. The elements hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, which is a compound. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

What compounds have atoms of hydrogen and oxygen?
Water is a common compound, and it is H2O.
How can H2O be formed from hydrogen and oxygen?
Two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen to form water. Both hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature, and they need to be activated in order to form H2O when combined. The activation, through a spark or flame, produces the water when these atoms are combined.
How many hydrogen atoms are necessary to join with oxygen to make it a stable compound?
Two hydrogen atoms need to be combined with one oxygen atom to form a molecule of water (H2O). Or you could have two hydrogen to two oxygen atoms, forming hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) but this is unstable and decomposes back to water and oxygen gas.
What is the chemical make up of water?
Pure water contains 2 hydrogen atoms to 1 oxygen atom ratio and combined with together as H2O.
The difference between atoms and molecules?
Atoms are just a single atom, obviously. Molecules are at least two atoms joined chemically, as opposed to a compound, which is at least two different elements joined together. For example, a single atom of Oxygen would be O. An oxygen molecule would be O2, O3, etc. A compound would be Oxygen and another element, such as Hydrogen, combined to make H2O (water, two Hydrogen, one Oxygen) or H3O (hydrogen peroxide, 3 oxygen, one hydrogen). This means that water is both a molecule (two or more atoms joined together) AND a compound (two or more atoms of different elements combined together). All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
What atoms are in wood?
Wood contains quite a few atoms such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which are combined together to make compounds such as celluose.
Which classification of matter are the compounds chemically combined?
A molecule.A molecule consists of one or more atoms chemically combined. If the atoms are not the same ie not two oxygen atoms but two oxygen and a hydrogen atom then the a compound is formed.
What is organic compounds in which there are twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms?
water
How many compounds are in 3H2O?
3 Hydrogen atoms, 2 Oxygen atoms.
Compounds made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms?
carbohydrates
What compounds have atoms of hydrogen and oxygen?
Water is a common compound, and it is H2O.
What two elements when combined forms water?
The elements are: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Combined they form water (H2O).
What other things have hydrogen and oxygen atoms?
Many, many compounds contain either hydrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, or both. Far too many to list here, in fact.Most prominently water and hydrogen peroxide both contain nothing but oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
Why does all water contain two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom?
Because that's how the universe works. Compounds are made of specific elements combined in specific ratios. If you combine other atoms, or oxygen and hydrogen in some other way, you don't get water, you get something else.
Which compound is a carbohydrate?
chopa lao aima di phudi phar deyo
What two compounds make water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen forming H2O (two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom per molecule)
How can H2O be formed from hydrogen and oxygen?
Two atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of oxygen to form water. Both hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature, and they need to be activated in order to form H2O when combined. The activation, through a spark or flame, produces the water when these atoms are combined.
