What does h2o stand for exactly?

Question

I know it is water.

Answer 1

1 Hydrogen
2 Oxygen

Answer 2

What Is The 2 In H2o

Answer 3

H = Hydrogent
O = Oxygent
H2O means 2 atoms of Hidrogens mixed bonded with 1 atom of oxygent

Answer 4

As stated the name is Dihydrogen Monoxide. It states there are two Hydrogen (H) atoms bonded with one Oxygen (O) atom. The two hydrogen atoms share their electrons with the oxygen atom to "create" a stable molecule. This molecule is an ion. It has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. This allows the molecules to "stick" together and that's why you can fill a glass over the tip of the edge without it spilling. The attaction the molecules have for one another creates surface tension. Water has many unique and amazing properties. I could go on an on, but as I fear I've already stated too much, I'll stop here. I'm sure you can find many websites that explain water and its properties in great detail. I think its cheating to copy and paste from a site that has all the info. Thats why I don't put it on there. I answer from my own knowledge and education. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Water (H2O, HOH) is the most abundant molecule on Earth's surface, composing 70-75% of the Earth's surface as liquid and solid state in addition to being found in the atmosphere as a vapor. It is in dynamic equilibrium between the liquid and vapor states at standard temperature and pressure. At room temperature, it is a nearly colorless, tasteless, and an odorless liquid. Many substances dissolve in water and it is commonly referred to as the universal solvent; because of this, water in nature and in use is rarely clean, and may have some properties different than those in the laboratory. However, there are many compounds that are essentially, if not completely, insoluble in water. Water is the only common, pure substance found naturally in all three states of matter—for other substances, see Chemical properties.

Answer 6

This is the kind of question that makes me slightly nervous... However bombs, depending on what type, can be made of many different substances. TNT for example, or dynamite, is made using nitro-glycerine mixed with stabilizing materials and placed in cylinders. The nitro glycerine is extremely explosive and only takes a small spark or flame to ignite. It works the same way gasoline would if you were to ignite it, it just goes up very fast and out of control. Time bombs work by having an ignition source, or spark connected to some sort of timer, like a watch... And it is set to explode at a set time. Explosions are very dangerous, and expand outward very fast. In fact normally, it is not the heat or flame that kill with an explosion, but the force exerted on the body, or shrapnel thrown by it... Hope this answers your questions... Explosives are very dangerous though, you should not try to make anything That explodes or play around with this stuff.

Answer 7

H = Hydrogen
electonic configuration= 1s1
O.N. = 1
O= Oxygen
electonic configuration= 1s2 2s2 2p4
O.N. = -2
Then H+ and O-2 react each other and format H2O.

Answer 8

h2o =water- which is 2 atoms of hydrogen for 1 atom of oxygen.

Answer 9

The H20 is the chemical formula of water. It shows that one molecule of water consists of one atom oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the oxygen atom. This makes their (oxygen and hydrogen atom) arrangement. A covalent bond between the oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms are formed. Therefore, H20 is a formula shows that one molecule of water that consists of one atom oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

Answer 10

DiHydrogen Monoxide.

2 parts hydrogen, 1 part oxygen. ;)
