The formula of water is H2O, showing that each molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, each molecule contains three atoms.

What type bond is responsible for holding one water molecule to another water molecule?

A hydrogen bond is responsible for holding one water molecule to another water molecule. This bond forms between the slightly positively charged hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the slightly negatively charged oxygen atom of another water molecule.


How many molecules of hydrogen does water contain?

A molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule of hydrogen contains two hydrogen atoms. Therefore, one molecule of water contains one hydrogen molecule, but it is unusual to think in these terms. Check the wording of your question.


How much oxygen is there in water?

The element "h2o" is water. It was one hydrogen atom and two oxygen atoms. This is completely backwards. The "2" means 2 hydrogens and ONE oxygen. Another term for water is Di-hydrogen-oxide. Di = Two > Hydrogen = Hydrogen [duh] > Oxide = Oxygen


How is hydrogen bonding among water molecules related to the strcture of the water molecule?

A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular bond between a hydrogen attached to an electronegative atom (N,O, F, etc) on one molecule and an atom with a lone pair of electrons on another atom. These bonds are much weaker than a covalent bond. Nevertheless, they can greatly affect the properties of a substance and are responsible for water's unique attributes. In water, hydrogen bonds exist between the hydrogen on one water molecule and the oxygen on another.


What is hydrogen bonding and what effect does it have on water?

Hydrogen bonding is a weak electrostatic attraction between a covalently bonded H on one atom with an electronegative atom in another molecule. In water this is a bond between the H of one H2O molecule and the O of another. The effects are remarkable. Boiling point and melting point are much higher than you'd expect (compare H2S) the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

Is a numerical value that reflects how much an atom in a molecule attracts electron?

Linus Pauling defined electronegativity as "the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."


HOW MUCH ENERGY IT TAKES TO ERASE ONE MOLECULE OF WATER ONE DEGREE?

A water molecule can be erased is the chemical bonds are destroyed. Although water is characterised as one oxygen atom attached to two hydrogen atoms, water molecules seldom exist in isolation: there are often clusters of four. This makes it much more difficult to calculate the amount of energy required to break the bonds and erase the water molecule from existence.

How much ocean water is in a molecule?

A molecule of water has a mass of 18 amu.


If the mass of water is 4.5 times greater than the mass of helium how does the mass of a water molecule compare with the mass of a helium atom?

The mass of the water molecules is greater than the mass of the helium atoms. It just so happens I had the same question in science, and that's what I put down. It might be wrong, it might not. But I'd be at least at like 65-35% chance it's right.

What is the type of bond that forms the water molecule?

The weak bond that exists between water molecules is called a hydrogen bond. In a water molecule, H2O, each hydrogen atom forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom. Because the oxygen atom is so much larger than the hydrogen atoms, it is more electronegative and holds the electrons more tightly. Because of this, the oxygen atom develops a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen atoms develop a slightly positive charge. This causes the water molecule to be polar, like a bar magnet. Weak attractions (hydrogen bonds) form between adjacent water molecules, so that the slightly negative oxygen atom forms a weak bond with a slightly positive hydrogen atom.
