What can oxygen and hydrogen explosively form?

Answer 1

Yes water is made from one part Oxygen and two parts Hydrogen.

If one were to mix pure Oxygen and Pure hydrogen in these proportions and then set a spark, there would be an explosion as the Hydrogen burned very rapidly to form steem. Such a mixture is very, very dangerous. This is the mixture introduced into the rocket engine to propel an Atlas Rocket.

Please be warned do not play or experiment with hydrogen gas it is dangerous. You should also keep away form pure Oxygen as other materials catch fire and burn very easily and fiercely when the % of Oxygen (normally about 20%) in the air increases.

Answer 2

The oxygen atom requires 2 electrons to complete its valence (outer) shell. Hydrogen is special in that it can either give or take one electron and still be stable. So hydrogen gives its electron to oxygen, and two hydrogen fills up all of oxygen's valence shell, and it forms water.

Answer 3

Hydrogen + Oxygen --> Water 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

During this reaction, the covalent sigma bond of the hydrogen molecules and the covalent pi bond of water molecules are broken. What we have now are two different ions, H+ and O2-.

2H+ ions will form a covalent sigma bond with one O2- ion by the sharing of electrons in order for hydrogen ions to achieve duplet and oxygen ion to achieve octet. The final product is H2O, which has a structural formula of H-O-H.

Answer 4

A chemical reaction because a new substance if produced. :)

Answer 5

Hydrogen and oxygen will react explosively to form water.

Answer 6

Oxygen and hydrogen can explosively form water (H2O) through a chemical reaction known as combustion or explosion. This reaction releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.
