Apart from the obvious, that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, not much. That is the mystery and beauty of the way things work chemically. Water is a liquid and is essential to life as we know it. The need for water is independent of our need for hydrogen and oxygen. If you need water and all you have is hydrogen and oxygen with no way of turning them into water, you are up the creek.
Chlorine, atomic number 17, is a deadly poison in its natural gas form. yet there are many compounds containing this element that are needed for life.
What else can I help you with?
Can you create hydrogen and oxygen without using water?
Hydrogen and oxygen can be produced separately from sources other than water, such as methane or electrolyzing other compounds containing these elements. However, for practical purposes, water is the most common source for obtaining hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.
What common substance is a three-atom molecule?
Water. H2O. Two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
What two elements is water made up of?
Oxygen and hydrogen are the two ellements that make up water.
Is hydrogen gas just hydrogen combined with oxygen?
No, Hydrogen gas is the diatomic element H, so it appears in nature as H2. The most common form of Hydrogen combined with Oxygen is H2O, or water.
How does the composition of a mixture of hydrogen any oxygen differ from the compound containing hydrogen and oxygen?
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would consist of separate H2 and O2 molecules. The hydrogen and oxygen would retain their own properties. The most common compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. In it the two elements are combined into molecules of H2O, which has its own set of properties distinct from those of hydrogen or oxygen.
What common element is common to water?
hydrogen and oxygen
What compounds have atoms of hydrogen and oxygen?
Water is a common compound, and it is H2O.
Name a common greenhouse gas containing only hydrogen and oxygen?
Water vapor is a common greenhouse gas that contains only hydrogen and oxygen.
What common compound has 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen?
Water or H2O
Is hydrogen found in water?
The most common compound of hydrogen and oxygen is better known as "Water".Hydrogen and oxygen also forms Hydrogen Peroxide.
What is the name a common greenhouse gas containing only hydrogen and oxygen?
The common greenhouse gas containing only hydrogen and oxygen is water vapor, with the chemical formula H2O.
When hydrogen and oxygen conforms to water what would water be considered and what would hydrogen and oxygen be considered?
Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and water is the product.
What common molecule contains oxygen?
Water (H2O) is a common molecule that contains oxygen. Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
Name the most-common element in your body.?
Hydrogen, then oxygen, then carbon. Your body is 70 percent water, which is two thirds hydrogen and one third oxygen.
A common compound consisting of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen?
water
What are the 2 common elements that are combined to make the formula of water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen
Can you create hydrogen and oxygen without using water?
Hydrogen and oxygen can be produced separately from sources other than water, such as methane or electrolyzing other compounds containing these elements. However, for practical purposes, water is the most common source for obtaining hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.
