When H gas and O gas react to form water what happens to the atoms that were in the gases and what kind of bonds result?

The atoms of hydrogen and oxygen (H and O) bond together to form covalent bonds which is where the atoms share electrons (as opposed to ionic bonding which is where one atom gives electrons to another atom). The atoms that were in the gasses combine and form water H2O which is at room temperature a liquid

Is hydrogen a greenhouse gas?
No, hydrogen has only two atoms (H2). Greenhouse gases need at least three atoms, like carbon dioxide (CO2), for example.
A decrease in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere would result in?
A decrease in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere would result in Cooler global temperatures. This would help decrease the impact of global warming.
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?
The Greenhouse Effect. It happens when Greenhouse Gases (CO2) thicken the atmosphere and trap heat.
What happens to the radiation that earth reemits?
It can go out to space, or it can be trapped by various gases in the atmosphere, i.e., greenhouse gases such as CO2 and water vapor.
What makes a green house gas different from other gases in the atmosphere?
The definition of greenhouse gases are any gas with three or more atoms.Answer:The bond lengths between atoms in green house gases allows them to absorb heat energy more easily from sunlight. This is then shared with other atmospheric gases.
Why do gases rarely form bonds with other atoms?
the nobel gases are already stable, with full octets of valence electrons
Gases completely fill their container while liquids partly fill their containers This happens because?
The bonds between the atoms in a gas are weaker than in a liquid. All atoms are vibrating. In a gas this kinetic energy overcomes the bonds between atoms and allows them to spread apart and "fill" the container. This is why a smell "travels", carried on the wind for example.
What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
When atoms form bonds and fill their outer most levels they have an electronic arrangement similar to that of a what?
noble gases
State of matter that bonds keep together atoms?
The state of matter that keeps atoms together is solid. Liquids and gases allow atoms to break apart from each other.
Why don't the noble gases react with other atoms?
Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inert (they generally do not form bonds).
Why do atoms form bonds with other atoms?
Bonds are attractions between atoms. They usually share electrons, or gain them, or lose them to make sure their layers have the full electrons that they need.
Why atoms of noble gases don't easily form bonds?
Ther are no available electrons in any orbitals that are available for bonding
When a gases compressed what do they do?
Eventually when condensed enough it becomes a solid as the atoms become tighter packed and the bonds become stronger.
What happens when an atom combines with another atom?
uncomplete atoms attract each other sort of like a magnet. when they 'stick' together they are then called a molecule but there are atoms that do not form together because they are complete. they are called Noble Gases.
What element makes stable bonds to itself and to atoms of other elements?
Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.
When atoms form bonds and fill their outermost energy levels they have an electronic arrangement similar to what?
Their electronic configuration is similar to that of noble gases.
