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

What is c2h3oh Lewis structure?

The two carbons would be your central with 3 hydrogens branching out( 2 on one side and 1 on the other) and the oxygen will be branchinng out on the same side as the hydrogen that there is only one with a hyrogen branching out from the oxygen. There will be a single bond between the O and the H, the C and the two H, and the C and the other H, and a double bond(two lines) between the two carbons.


Why is the chemical equation H2 plus O2 equals H2O is not balanced?

The chemical equation H2 + O2 -> H2O is not balanced because the number of oxygen atoms is not equal on both sides of the equation. There are two oxygen atoms on the left side (O2) and only one on the right side (H2O). Balancing the equation would require adding a coefficient of 2 in front of H2O to have an equal number of oxygen atoms on both sides.


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.


How many hydrogens would be required to complete a molecule that contained 3 carbon atoms and one oxygen atom connected with two C-C single covalent bonds and a CO double covalent bond?

The conditions given in the question describe a molecule of either acetone or propionaldehyde. In either instance, 6 hydrogen atoms are required to complete the molecule: H3C-C(O)-CH3 or H3C-CH2-CHO.


If electrons in water molecules were equally attracted to hydrogen nuclei as well as oxygen nuclei water molecules would be?

If electrons in water molecules were equally attracted to hydrogen as well as oxygen nuclei, the molecule would be nonpolar. This means the charges would be evenly distributed throughout the molecule, causing it to have no overall charge.

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.


Would nonmetals be attracted to water's hydrogen's or oxygen?

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


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 is meant by polar and nonpolarsovents?

An example of a "polar" solvent would be water...which has "oxygen" with two "hydrogens" hanging off. The oxygen has exposed electrons that give it a negative charge, while the hydrogens have a positive charge. The hydrogens are positive because oxygen is what you call an "electronegative" atom and it draws electrons around itself. So, even the electron of the hydrogen will pull away from the hydrogen towards the oxygen, which exposes the proton of the hydrogen. Water arranges itself around this polarity....hydrogens arranging themselves next to oxygens on neighboring water molecules. This will dissolve any ionicly bonded substance like sodium chloride, for example. The Sodium is positive and will rush to the oxygens of the water, while the chlorides are negative and will arrange themselves around the hydrogens of the water. Nonpolar would be like "oil", for example. Oil, being carbon based and without any charged groups attached to it, is not " polar". It is relatively neutral. However, organic molecules have their own way of clinging to themselves in the liquid state. Something like sodium chloride will not dissolve well within a nonpolar solvent. So, it would make sense that if, for example, you wanted to get some tar off of your tires on your car....to use "butter" instead of soap, because butter will be a solvent for tar.

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 reactant in 2H2O equals 2H2 plus O2?

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.
