The atomic structure of water (H2O) consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Oxygen shares electrons with the hydrogen atoms, forming covalent bonds. Each hydrogen atom shares its electron with oxygen, allowing oxygen to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons, satisfying the octet rule.

The change of water to ice is a physical change?

Yes it is, as the atomic structure does not change.


How many electron are required for water to complete its octet structure?

Water is a molecule made of three atoms (one oxygen and two hydrogen) and the concept of the electron octet applies to atoms, not to molecules. Oxygen, with six valance electrons, can acquire an octet by sharing the electrons of two hydrogen atoms, each of which have one electron. So the water molecule is self contained, it does not need any more electrons.


Is water an exception to the octet rule?

It is one of many, many exceptions to the octet rule. Hydrogen does NOT require 8 electrons.


What contains eight elements?

Element 1 is hydrogen; element 8 is oxygen. Thus water, H2O, is such a substance. Another less familiar one is hydrogen peroxide, H2O2.


One mole of ice at 273 k or one mole of water at the same temperature which one have greater entropy and why?

One mole of water at 273 K would have greater entropy because liquid water has higher entropy than solid ice due to increased molecular motion and disorder in the liquid state. The molecules in water have more degrees of freedom to move and interact compared to the more ordered structure of ice.


What does the atomic structure of Water look like?

The atomic structure of water consists of one oxygen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom is in the center, with the hydrogen atoms bonded at an angle of 104.5 degrees. This arrangement gives water its unique properties and allows it to form hydrogen bonds.

What is the atomic mass of water?

The atomic mass of water (H2O) is calculated by adding the atomic masses of its constituent elements, which are hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). The atomic mass of hydrogen is approximately 1, and the atomic mass of oxygen is approximately 16. Therefore, the atomic mass of water is approximately 18 (1 + 1 + 16).


What is water number?

water is a compound so there is no atomic number for it. that is a trick question because only elements have an atomic number.
