It's neither a base or an atom. It is a molecular compound because it is a covalent bond involving the sharing of electrons.

In a reaction with HCl is water an acid or base?

Hydrochloric acid diluted in water is still an acid.


Is neutralization reaction called displacements reaction?

No. A neutralization reaction is one in which an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water. A displacement reaction is one in which one atom or molecule is replaced by another atom or molecule.


Is CO2 a base?

It's not a base,it's an acid. CO2 in the air is actually neither a base or an acid. However, when it comes into contact with water it reacts to become H2CO3, which is an acid.


What atom form water?

You have 2 hydrogen and one oxygen atom, which is why water is H2O


What does pyridine act as when it reacts with water to form hydroxide?

Pyridine acts as a base when it reacts with water to form hydroxide ions. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in pyridine can accept a proton from water, resulting in the formation of hydroxide ions (OH-) in the solution.


Is NaH a base?

Yes, it stands for Sodium hydride and is used as a strong base in organic synthesis.


How many atoms make up water molecule?

3: In a sort of triangle-with-no-base orientation, two hydrogen atoms are bonded covalently to an oxygen atom.


Is water an atom or a element?

No water is NOT an "atom". No water is NOT an "element".


Why water behaves as base with all the hydrogen halides?

Water behaves as a base with the hydrogen halides due to the fact that when dissolved in water the hydrogen halide dissociates into its ions, and the water molecule acts as a proton acceptor (base) when it combines with the hydrogen ion to form hydronium (H3O+), and the halogen forms its negative halide ion. The following example shows the reaction between hydrogen chloride and water. HCl + H2O --> H+ + Cl- + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl−


Why you cannot say ' an atom of water'?

Water is a compound formed by the chemical bonding of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. An atom refers to a single, indivisible unit of an element, not a compound. Therefore, it is more accurate to say 'a molecule of water' or 'a water molecule' to refer to the smallest unit of water.


How many helium atoms does water contain?
