Water's chemical name is H20 because it has 1 Hydrogen and 2 Oxygen atoms in each molecule. But only pure water is composed of this, so if it comes from the tap, it is impure, meaning it has other minerals in it. That's why we can "taste" water, we actually taste the impurities in it, but pure water has 2 different types of atoms.
Answer 2
Water is made of two different elements; hydrogen and oxygen.
However it is not quite as simple as to say that therefore water is made up only of 2 different types of atoms because each element has what are known as isotopes.
An isotope is a variation of an atom of a specific element. It is where the atom contains a different number of neutrons inside the nucleus.
There are 2 hydrogen isotopes which occur in water: hydrogen 1 & hydrogen 2 (deuterium).
There are 3 oxygen isotopes which occur in water: oxygen 16, oxygen 17 & oxygen 18.
So, the vast majority of atoms in water will be made from just hydrogen 1 & oxygen 16, but in any given amount of water there may be up to 5 different types of atoms present.

What is the smallest particle of water with the formular h2o?
H - Hydrogen Smallest particle with formula H2O is water molecule and is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one that of oxygen. two atoms of hydrogen incidentally combined to make one hydrogen molecule. Thanks, Dilip Thakur
How many different kinds of atoms make up a molecule of water?
There are two types of elements in water. It is made up of Oxygen and Hydrogen. There are two Hydrogen atoms for every Oxygen atoms and the chemical compound of water is H2O.
Can a particle be a single atom?
Answer: No, it takes millions, if not billions of atoms to make one grain of sugar. No. The smallest "particle" of sugar would be a molecule. The individual atoms are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, but they no longer have the properties of the sugar.
What are small Particles that make up all substances?
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
How many types of natural atoms are there?
There are 90 naturally occurring types of atoms, or elements.
What do you called these particle that make up a molecule of water?
atoms
What is the smallest particle of water with the formular h2o?

Hydrogen and oxygen gas combining to become water?
Yes, two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom make a water particle. H2O
How many different kinds of atoms make up a molecule of water?
There are two types of elements in water. It is made up of Oxygen and Hydrogen. There are two Hydrogen atoms for every Oxygen atoms and the chemical compound of water is H2O.
What is a small particle that makes up most types of matter called?
The word you are probably looking for is 'atoms'. However there are many different types of particle: molecules and ions are on the same scale as atoms. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Some of these are made up of quarks....
Is molecule the smallest particle of matter?
No, atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Atoms are the smallest pieces of a chemical element, but atoms are made of even smaller particles. We know that neutrons, protons and electrons make up atoms. And there are even smaller particles when we begin to look at what is called the particle zoo.
What can nuclear transmutation result from?
A radioactive atom can decay spontaneously, at a random moment. A transmutation can also be the result of an atom capturing some other particle, or nucleus - which can make certain types of atoms unstable.
Are there pieces of matter smaller than atoms?
Yes, atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These subatomic particles are smaller than atoms, and even smaller particles such as quarks and leptons make up protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Can a particle be a single atom?
Answer: No, it takes millions, if not billions of atoms to make one grain of sugar. No. The smallest "particle" of sugar would be a molecule. The individual atoms are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, but they no longer have the properties of the sugar.
What are small Particles that make up all substances?
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
How many atoms dose sugar contain?
Sugar is glucose (C6H12O6) (Oh, I wish I could make the numbers small) Which means it has (per particle) 6 Carbon atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms and 6 Oxygen atoms.
What are the smallest unit of chemical compound that still has the properties of that compound?
particles called atoms are the smallest unit. Several atoms combine to make a molecule and molecules are what form substances such as water
