The answer is hydrogens because it wants to become equal and to be equal it has to have 8 electrons.

What atoms is carbohydrates composed of?

Oxygen, hydrogen and carbons make up carbohydrates. In a chemical formula, it would look like C6H12O6 meaning there are 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens. This makes the simple sugar, or monosaccharide. Different arrangements of these atoms make different types of sugar.


Would a molecule with polar covalent bonds be soluble in water?

Yes, in chemistry polar molecules are soluble with other polar molecules. You know that water is polar because of it's structure. Two hydrogens are bonded the an oxygen. The oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons that cause the molecule to have a bent VSEPR structure. This creates a net dipole due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. Essentially, the oxygen is slightly negative and the hydrogens slightly positive. So, yes your polar molecule is soluble with water (also polar).


What makes up a molecule of water?

H20, which would mean two hydrogens and one of oxygen. They combine by sharing their electrons, the hydrogens put their one electron in the outer electron cloud of the oxygen. the oxygen has six valance electrons, so it still has space for two more.


How many hydrogen are in a particle of sulfuric?

If we are talking about a single molecule of sulfuric acid, H2SO4 then there are two hydrogens... ... However if we are talking about a single sulfuric ion (which is unlikely) then the forumla would be SO42- then there would be no hydrogens


What is the limiting reactant in 2H2 plus O2 equals 2H2O?

There is no limiting reactant in that equation, it's balanced. Four hydrogens on the left, 4 on the right, 2 oxygens on the left, 2 oxygens on the right. If it was 3H2 then it would be oxygen.

Would a nonmetal be attracted to waters hydrogens or oxygen?

Neither. A non-metal element has no charge, which would be required for attraction.


How would frigid Antarctic waters affect the ice fish's need for oxygen?

Antarctic waters are higher in oxygen content than are other oceans. This means that oxygen is more freely available to these animals in the Southern Ocean.

A liquid compound of hydrogen and oxygen?

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would be a highly flammable gaseous mixture. If ignited, the mixture would burn, explode, and form water vapor. Water is not a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen but a compound.


What does cellular respiration do to oxygen levels?

glucose would go through glycolysis and in the absence of oxygen, pyruvate would turn into lactic acid since there would be no oxygen to collect the excess hydrogens/ or if yeast is involved, alchol would be produced


What is the chemical symbol for dihydrogen oxide?

That would be H2O ... also known as water.

How many hydrogen atoms are there in sugar?

Simple sugars have the formula Cn(H2O)n .So, if you had 11 oxygen you would have the simple sugar formula C11H22O11.With this you can see that the total hydrogen atoms is 22.


What is the formula for dihydrogen pentaoxide?

Dihydrogen pentaoxide would mean 2 hydrogens and 5 oxygens, or H2O5. This would be an exceedingly unstable molecule, since two hydrogen atoms normally combine with only one oxygen atom, not five.
