A molecule of of H2O has 10 electrons: two from the hydrogen and 8 from the oxygen.
Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with oxygen, forming a single covalent bond in a 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.
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.
Eight. Oxygen has 6 electrons and shares two more with the hydrogen atoms in covalent bonds

Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with oxygen, forming a single covalent bond in a water molecule.
An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. When it shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule, oxygen will share 2 of its electrons with each hydrogen atom, allowing each hydrogen to complete its outermost energy level with 2 electrons. This results in oxygen having a full outermost energy level with 8 electrons.
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.

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.
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.
One of each. Total = 2.
Water molecules are composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The hydrogen atoms each bring an electron to the reaction, and the oxygen atom brings eight. The resulting molecule has two plus eight electrons, or ten electrons in it.
