What term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?

The role of hydrogen gas, H2, in the formation of a water molecule, H2O is rather simple. It reacts with 1/2 mole of oxygen to form the water:
H2 + 1/2 O2 → H2O
or
2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O
Each hydrogen in the hydrogen gas is oxidized from (0) to (+1) and is reducing the oxygen from (0) to (-II) in oxidation state.

In both liquid water and ice a hydrogen bond forms between .?
A hydrogen bond forms between the hydrogen(s) of one water molecule, and the oxygen molecule of another water molecule.
How many molecules of hydrogen in water?
There are two atoms of hydrogen in a water molecule, but no hydrogen molecules.
What molecule is removed during the formation of new bonds within a polypeptide?
During the formation of new bonds within a polypeptide, a molecule of water (H2O) is removed. This process is known as dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction, in which a hydroxyl (OH) group is removed from one amino acid and a hydrogen (H) atom is removed from the adjacent amino acid, resulting in the formation of a peptide bond.
How many atoms does water make up?
There are three atoms in a molecule of water. One oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. The simplified form for the molecule of water is H2O which is a coded form for the 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms that make up the 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.
A large oxygen atom shares electrons with smaller hydrogen atoms. what kind of molecule does this form?
That would be a description of water, i.e. H2O
What has the ability to bond water to itself?
The cause is the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules.Any hydrophilic molecule that dissolves in water make H-bonding with water molecules
Is H2O water?
Yes. H20 is another name for water because it describes the makeup of a water molecule: 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.
What describes the attraction of one water molecule toward another?
This attraction is called hydrogen bond, what causes higher boyling point in relation to compounds without such bonds
The hydrogen side of a water molecule is?
The hydrogen side of a water molecule has a slight positive charge.
How many water molecules are produced during dehydration synthesis of a fat molecule?
Three water molecules are formed. They form from the leftover hydrogen and oxygen atoms left over from the triglyceride formation.
In both liquid water and ice a hydrogen bond forms between .?
A hydrogen bond forms between the hydrogen(s) of one water molecule, and the oxygen molecule of another water molecule.
Is carbon a water molecule?
No, water molecules are made of Hydrogen and Oxygen, there is no Carbon.
The molecule of water is a combination of?
The molecule of water is of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio-1;2.
How many molecules of hydrogen in water?
There are two atoms of hydrogen in a water molecule, but no hydrogen molecules.
What molecule is removed during the formation of new bonds within a polypeptide?
During the formation of new bonds within a polypeptide, a molecule of water (H2O) is removed. This process is known as dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction, in which a hydroxyl (OH) group is removed from one amino acid and a hydrogen (H) atom is removed from the adjacent amino acid, resulting in the formation of a peptide bond.
What shape would a molecule of hydrogen sulfide have?
A hydrogen sulfide molecule, H2S, has a bent shape, similar to that of a water molecule.
