When two hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom come together.

2007-03-07 06:15:10 · answer #1 · answered by Anonymous · 0 1

Hi
I don't think anyone has answered this question yet so I'll try

As mentioned a water atom is H2o

2 X Hydrogen atoms
1 X Oxygen atom

Water can be created in the lab by having a sealed glass container will air in it. Then pass a very large voltage between two electrodes within the container. This will create a reaction between the atoms and combine them into a water atom and water vapour will be be formed on the inside of the container

So it follows that every time there is a lightening storm water is created by the reaction of electricity on air

99 molecules out of a hundred of just about anything alive is water ,we the plants and animals are basically water walking around
it originally came from space and a lot got trapped on this planet
this planet on the surface is mostly water

try to get a book called Sensitive Chaos ,by Theodor Schweck on the Rudolh Steiner press

it is all about water
he was the director of the research institute of Water and air in the black forrest
it is a book that was produced for secondary school.
and is in many languages.and has many drawings
it will amaze you what water all is .
and how it defies the laws of physics.

If you start with water on the earth then it is the same water going around and around. The amount to new water formed from chemical reactions is tiny compared to that original water.

Water in the ocean, rivers, lakes, or puddles is dried by the sun and goes up into air as water vapor gas. In the presence of dust and a lot of that water vapor, the small drops of water enlarge until they are too heavy to stay aloft. Precipitation is formed that falls to the ground. Depending on air and ground temperatures it may come down as rain, snow, hail, sleet, freezing rain.

The Water Cycle!

2007-03-07 06:32:29 · answer #5 · answered by PrincessLava 1 · 0 0

Look up the water cycle on the internet and that should be fruitfull. The amount of water on the earth is limited and it is used over and over again. It will evaporate from the ocean and form clouds which will rain, the water will flow into rivers and back out to sea where it will evaporate again. Other than evaporation from bodies of water (sea, river, lake etc.) water gets inot the atmosphere by transpiration, which is basically plants sweating. Check out the links.

Water is an essential part of the planet. It was created with the planet after the Big Bang. It is a sort of "living" part of Earth, which recycles from the oceans into clouds by evaporation and then falls as rain onto earth to be carried back to the oceans via rivers.

Where does our water come from?
We believe the amount of water on the earth is the same now as it was when the planet was created. So where did it come from? Scientists think it was released as clouds of steam when
the earth was cooling over 4,000 million years ago. Since then, this water has been continually recycled.
The water cycle
Our water travels in a circle between oceans, the air and the ground. We call this the water cycle. This process is vital to life on earth because it keeps all creatures supplied with fresh
water.
• 97% of the world's water is salty sea water
• 2% is frozen in the polar ice caps
• only 1% is available fresh water that humans can use - and this is all recycled
When it rains the ground becomes wet and you can see the water collect in puddles. During hot weather the puddles dry up relatively quickly. As the water heats up, molecules of water
(H2O) break up and leave the puddle to become water vapour in the air. This evaporation happens when heat energy from the sun warms the water. Evaporation is faster when temperature are higher, there is wind and humidity is low (ie the air is "drier").
The seas, lakes and oceans are like giant puddles which never dry up, even though huge amounts of water are evaporated from them every minute. The evaporated water, or water vapour, can be blown over land by the wind. If this damp air is caused to rise by hills or mountains, it will begin to cool down and we can then see this water vapour as it begins to
form tiny water droplets again in the air. This is condensation. When many water droplets gather together in the same place we can see them in the form of clouds.
The process of condensation occurs because the air is cooler the higher up it is in the atmosphere. As the air holding the water droplets rises and cools further, the droplets grow and eventually become so large that they fall back to earth as rain. The rain can soak into the ground, or 'run off' to collect in streams and rivers and eventually return to the sea.
A lot can happen to the rain water that soaks into the ground. Some of it percolates deeper into the rocks where it can become trapped. Underground rocks which hold water are called
aquifers. In time, some of these may form underground caves with lakes as the water drains away, Some water will be drawn up by the roots of plants and released back into the air
through their leaves. When plants absorb water and release water molecules back into the air as water vapour, this is called transpiration.
Some of the water in rivers or underground aquifers is pumped out by the water companies and may join other sources of water on the journey to your sink or bath via your tap. This water will eventually be returned into the drains and sewers after fulfilling a multitude of roles, some important to life, others less vital. After travelling through the local sewage treatment works, the water will enter a river and eventually return to the sea.
The world has always had the same amount of water … so you are drinking recycled water that the dinosaurs drank!
Reservoirs and rivers
When rain falls on impermeable rocks (those which do not let water through), most of it runs off the land into lakes, rivers and reservoir.
A lot of water can be taken from rivers and treated so it can be supplied as clean water. In some places it is possible to build a dam across the river to form a lake, sometimes called a
reservoir. Water is released from the reservoir to keep the river below it at a certain level.
Almost all the reservoirs above ground are manmade. These are surface water stores.
In the North of England there are more rivers and lakes because there is more rainfall over the mountains. Many large dams have been built to supply large northern cities such as Manchester and Leeds.
Kielder Water is a large lake formed by building a very large dam across the North Tyne Valley. The dam is three-quarters of a mile long and 52 metres high. The reservoir took two winters to fill and is the largest man-made lake in Europe
Boreholes
Rain falling on permeable rocks will make its way underground by seeping through the soil and rocks until it reaches a layer of impermeable rock. Some rain is stored in permeable rocks like a sponge while other water is stored in cracks and underground reservoirs.
Underground layers of rock which store water are called aquifers. These are groundwater stores. To extract this water, we drill boreholes (deep wells) and use electric pumps to bring
the water up. The water is then treated.
Springs
Springs are normally found in or near hills. A few remote villages which are not connected to the water system, often rely on springs to supply their water. This water is usually pure and
requires no treatment except disinfection. The water from the spring may be fizzy it contains calcium carbonate which breaks down into carbon dioxide gas, C02, giving the water its fizz. This water is often bottled and sold and as sparkling mineral water. Springs are a source of groundwater.

water is a combination of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. That makes one water molecule. And a bunch of molecules together makes visible water. The Earth has a constant amount of water. It recycles through precipitation and evaporation. hope this helps

you relatively did go away college in the 9th grade. i did no longer think of you have been severe. effortless chemistry, mixed with a splash of cosmology. An atom of Hydrogen collides with 2 Oxygen atoms and varieties a molecule of water. Gravity supplies you the stress mandatory. an ecosystem supplies you the cooling result mandatory to decelerate the gas atoms and swap them into liquid. the ongoing growth of the Universe provided each and all of the time mandatory for the cooling and mixing result to ensue. (heavily, 8th graders understand this)
