Water is H2O. 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Water is not formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen. An explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is formed. When you burn hydrogen in oxygen, the resulting compound is water. When you boil water the result is steam, or water vapor. Boiling does NOT separate the hydrogen and oxygen. An electrical current is needed to separate the hydrogen and oxygen. CAUTION: Do NOT put salt in the water to speed up the electrolysis of water. It changes the products. instead of hydrogen and oxygen, you get hydrogen, chlorine (gas), and sodium hydroxide. The last two are very poisonous.

What is broken down and formed in the decomposition of water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen are the two elements that are formed when water decomposes.
What is oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
They are both diatomic gases. Hydrogen will explode in oxygen to produce water.
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.
Is a gas given of when water splits into hydrogen and oxygen?
When water splits, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are formed.
What is another name for hydrogen and oxygen?
Gases H2O is water.
What gases are in the water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen are the gases present in water in the ratio of 2:1 respectively with a covalent bond.The molecular formula is H2OWhen hydrogen is burnt in presence of oxygen, water is formed that can be written as;(Heat) H2 + O2 -------) H2O
What gases are in water?
hydrogen and oxygen
Why is the earth covered with water?
The earth formed and let of carbon, oxygen, and other gases. Those gases collected and formed the atmosphere. When the Earth cooled, some hydrogen and oxygen bonded to make water vapor. Soon we had lakes, then oceans, and then life.

Where do you mix hydrogen and oxygen to make water?
Water can not be produced by mixing these to gases, when hydrogen gas is burn in oxygen atmosphere the vapours of water are produced.
What two gases form water?
Water is made up of Hydrogen && Oxygen.
How is water physically different then hydrogen and oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are both gases at room temperature, while water is a liquid at room temperature.
Is water a compound formed by sharing nitrogen?
in pure water, no. Water is comprised of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule
