Hydrogen atoms are the smallest known elements, and therefore smaller than oxygen atoms (according to atomic weight and atomic mass).

Is an oxygen atom bigger than a hydrogen atom?

An oxygen atom has 8 of each neutrons, electrons, and protons. While a carbon atom has only 6 of each. I had the same problem! So i hope this helped :)

In h20what is the type of bond that holds one of the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atoms?

In water (H2O), the bond holding one of the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom is a polar covalent bond. This bond is formed when the hydrogen atom shares its electron with the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom has a greater electronegativity than the hydrogen atom, creating a slight negative charge on the oxygen atom and a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom.


What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the hydrogen atom?

Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1


Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?

all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.


What is the atom of H2O?

The atom of H2O is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together. Each hydrogen atom forms a single covalent bond with the oxygen atom, resulting in a bent molecular structure.


Is a water molecule formed from 1 oxygen atom and 1 hydrogen atom?

No. The molecule for water is H2O, meaning each water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.


Does water have more hydrogen or oxygen in it?

By number of atoms it has more hydrogen, by mass it has more oxygen. Each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. However, a typical oxygen atom has about 16 times the mass of a typical hydrogen atom.
