Hydrogen atoms have one valence electron which is also the only electron they have.
A water molecule is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Oxygen atom has six electrons in its outer most shell and a hydrogen atom has one electron in its outer most shell. Oxygen and hydrogen atoms are unstable because they have less than eight electrons in their outer most shells. Oxygen needs two electrons and hydrogen atom requires one electron tocomplete their valence shell. Oxygen atom combines with two hydrogen atoms by sharingelectrons. The bonds present between hydrogen atoms and oxygen atom are called single covalent bonds. In this way, oxygen and hydrogen atoms complete their outer most orbits. Oxygen shares two electrons with hydrogen atoms but its four electrons remain free in the water molecule. Therefore, there are two electron pairs or four electrons present in a water molecule.
Hydrogen has 1 electron while deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, also has 1 electron. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of the element, which is 1 for hydrogen.
A hydrogen atom can form one bond by sharing its single electron with another atom to achieve a full outer shell of electrons and become stable.
There is one atom of hydrogen in a hydrogen molecule.
Oxygen doesn't have any hydrogen bonds. A hydrogen bond is when a hydrogen atom is bonded with an electronegative atom, such as oxygen. Oxygen all by itself does not have hydrogen bonded to it. It is simply written as 02.

There are 6 electrons in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom. In a water molecule, oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form covalent bonds, achieving a full outer shell with 8 electrons (octet rule). Oxygen shares one electron with each hydrogen atom to complete its outer shell.

An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. When it shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule, oxygen will share 2 of its electrons with each hydrogen atom, allowing each hydrogen to complete its outermost energy level with 2 electrons. This results in oxygen having a full outermost energy level with 8 electrons.
counting the shared electrons, 8.
Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with oxygen, forming a single covalent bond in a water molecule.
In an H2 molecule, each hydrogen atom shares one bond with the other hydrogen atom. This results in a total of 2 bonds and 2 electrons being shared between the two hydrogen atoms in the molecule.
Eight. Oxygen has 6 electrons and shares two more with the hydrogen atoms in covalent bonds
In water, each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the oxygen atom to form a covalent bond. So, each hydrogen atom contributes one electron in the water molecule.
An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. In a water molecule, each hydrogen atom can share one electron with the oxygen atom, forming a covalent bond. This results in the oxygen atom having a total of 8 electrons in its outermost energy level.
