Since water is comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, when it is split into atoms by plants during photosynthesis the only other atoms other than oxygen that are produced are hydrogen atoms.

What are the building blocks of molecules?
Atoms are the building blocks of molecules.
Which holds large numbers of different molecules together?
Intermolecular force holds large numbers of different molecules together.
Water dissolves ionic compounds because water molecules?
So basically an atom of water or (H2O) is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that are covalently bonded together to make a compound. A covalent bond is when two nonmetal elements, most commonly, two gases come together to make a compound. So water is a covalent bond because it is hydrogen bonded with oxygen which are both nonmetal elements being bonded together to form a covalent bond. There is a difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds. The difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond is that in a covalent bond the two or more elements that are being bonded together share electrons rather than take them like in an ionic compound. So with the fact that covalently bonded compounds share electrons in mind, electrons are not evenly distributed or shared throughout a water molecule because oxygen atoms strongly attract electrons. Because the oxygen atoms do this they pull electrons away from the hydrogen atoms giving them a partial positive charge. Now that the oxygen atom has the electrons closer to it than the other two hydrogen atoms it gives the oxygen atom a partially negative charge. This act of atoms not evenly sharing electrons is called a polar compound. What is special about compounds that are polar is that is attracts both positive and negative ions of an ionic commpund. Thats why water can dissolve ionic compounds because its polar structure.
How is oxygen obtained from air?
It cant be its a natural source and can't be "put in a jar" etc and it cant be seen, its just floating around all the time and can't be captured or extracted from anything. xx - hope this helped!
Which of these is a measure of the quantity of matter that exists in an object?
The quantity of matter in an object is its mass. If you then know what the object is made from you can find out (approximately) how many atoms or molecules it has (measured in mol).
How many molecules of oxygen produced along with one modecule of sugar?
The answer is six.
What are the total number of atoms in two oxygen molecules?
There are 4 oxygen atoms in two oxygen molecules.
What does the equation of photosynthesis mean?
The equation for photosynthesis is: 6H2O + 6 CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 The numerals in each part of the equation (without balancing it) mean: H2 = 2 atoms of Hydrogen O = 1 atom of Oxygen } H2O=water C = 1 atom of Carbon O2 = 2 atoms of Oxygen } CO2= Carbon Dioxide C6 = 6 atoms of Carbon H12 = 12 atoms of Hydrogen O6= 6 atoms of Oxygen } C6H12O6 } Glucose O2 = 2 atoms of Oxygen } O2 = Oxygen When balanced: 6H2O = 6 molecules of water 6CO2 = 6 molecules of Carbon dioxide C6H12O6 = Glucose 6O2 = 6 molecules of Oxygen
What are the chemicals that are converted to sugar and oxygen during photosynthesis?
Six water molecules (H2O) and six Carbon Dioxide molecules (CO2) are broken apart using energy that originally comes from the sun. The resulting atoms are reformed to make one glucose molecule (C6H12O6), and six oxygen molecules (O2). There are a several steps to this reaction, but you only asked about where the atoms come from to form the sugar.
Does oxygen exist as atoms or molecules?
molecules
How many atoms of oxygen are in 3 molecules of CaSO4?
Chemical name for CaSO4 is calcium sulphate. It has 4 oxygen atoms in 1 molecule. So it has 12 oxygen atoms in 3 molecules.
How many atoms are there in a molecule of oxygen?
There are 2 atoms and 3 molecules in oxygen.
Oxygen molecules are made of 2 oxygen atoms that are bound together. Ozone molecules which are very different from oxygen molecules are made of 3 oxygen atoms that are bound together.?
Yep. That is true.
How many carbon atoms are in a molecule of maltose if the molecules has 12 oxygen atoms?
12 carbon atoms exist in a molecule of maltose if the molecules have 12 oxygen atoms.
How many oxygen atoms are there in dioxide molecules?
There are 2 oxygen atoms in dioxide
How many molecules of water would result if two molecules of glucose combined with 12 molecules of oxygen?
Twelve. Glucose is C6H12O6, so two molecules of glucose would give you: 12 carbon atoms 24 hydrogen atoms 12 oxygen atoms The 12 molecules of oxygen would give 24 oxygen atoms, for 48 total atoms of oxygen. So...each carbon atom would take two oxygen atoms to give 12 molecules of carbon dioxide, and each remaining oxygen atom would take two hydrogen atoms to give 12 molecules of water.
What occurs during During The Dark Reactions Of Photosynthesis?
Hydrogen atoms released from water are added to carbon dioxide molecules so that carbon oxygen bonds are broken and carbon atoms can join together. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom attached to two oxygen atoms. That way, a carbon atom joins two other carbon atoms. One of the hydrogen atoms joins the carbon atom and one of the hydrogen atoms joins with the oxygen atom. You end up with the carbon atom attached to four different atoms.
