Water does not ordinarily burn because of the massive amount of energy required to break the chemical bond between Hydrogen and Oxygen. If enough heat is added to break apart this bond, then the Hydrogen will burn.

Explain the number and kinds of atoms in the formula H2O2?

The formula H2O2 represents hydrogen peroxide, which consists of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms is 2:2, indicating that there are equal numbers of each atom in the molecule.


What is the chemcial equation for water?

H2O. This means that water chemically consists of 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen.


When you mix hydrogen with oxygen what happens i heard that it creates water and it also blows up how is this possible?

Water is H2O which means it is made of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom. Hydrogen is fairly volatile and flammable and oxygen is a gas that that supports burning (it will relight a glowing splint). If you have H2O2 (equal parts hydrogen and oxygen) it is very easy to catch on fire and explode.


How many parts of oxygen are in hydrogen peroxide?

The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, that is, two parts oxygen for every two parts hydrogen.

What is 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen?

2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen make up water, with the chemical formula H2O.


What is the difference in the chemical formulas for water and hydrogen peroxide?

The chemical formula for water is H2O, indicating that it consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, meaning it has two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms, making it a different compound that can function as a powerful oxidizing agent.


What is the formula is the formula of hydrogen and oxygen?

Hydrogen contains one valence electron (one electron in its outer orbit) and oxygen contains six valence electrons, to become stable a element wants to have 8 electrons in its outer orbit. Therefore when hydrogen and oxygen combine, it will take 2 parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O


How does oxygen get into a river?

The molecular structure of water is H2 0. That is there are two parts Hydrogen to one of Oxygen. Water is made up of hydrogen & Oxygen.
