A hydrogen atom has 1 proton and an oxygen atom has 8
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
The usual state of oxygen and hydrogen: they are gases at room temperature.
In the molecule COH₂ (formaldehyde), the oxidation state of carbon (C) can be determined by considering the oxidation states of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1, and oxygen has an oxidation state of -2. Therefore, for the molecule COH₂, the oxidation state of carbon is calculated as follows: x + 2(+1) + (-2) = 0, which simplifies to x + 2 - 2 = 0, leading to x = 0. Thus, the oxidation state of carbon in COH₂ is 0.
The usual state of oxygen and hydrogen: they are gases at room temperature.
Oxygen has a diatomic molecule and ozone a triatomic molecule.But also monoatomic oxygen exist.
Hydrogen is formed as molecule containing two atoms, just as nitrogen, and oxygen.
It should read "atoms" instead of "elements" So it should beA water molecule contains two hydrogen ATOMS and one oxygen atom.
The ratio of the number of hydrogen atoms to the number of oxygen atoms in any physical state of water is always 2:1, as shown by the chemical formula of water, H2O.
Atoms make up stable molecules. An atom is a single atom of an element. For example an atom of Helium(He) A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. So hydrogen in its natural state of H2 is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms. Another example is H2O which contains to atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
It doesn't agree with any law--water has one oxygen atom, not one oxygen molecule.
In H2O, each hydrogen atom has an oxidation state of +1. Since the overall charge of the molecule is zero, the oxygen atom must have an oxidation state of -2 to balance out the charges and make the molecule neutral. This is a common rule based on the electronegativity of oxygen.
If water is being split into hydrogen and oxygen then a change of state (phase change) will occur if the water is in liquid form and the hydrogen and oxygen are evolved as gases. If water vapor is being split, then obviously no change of state occurs. Conversely, solid water in the form of ice could be split into hydrogen and oxygen gas, also undergoing a phase change.
Hydrogen bonds between water molecules are primarily responsible for holding them together in the liquid state. These bonds are formed between the slightly positive hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the slightly negative oxygen atom of another water molecule.
