How can we say that one molecule of water contains one atom of oxygen without knowing the formula H2O?
@ajprincess Please help:)
The formula H20 tells us that one molecule of water is comprised of 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen bonded together. The bonds which hold the hydrogen and oxygen together are called covalent bonds - they are very strong. Let's look at a picture of a molecule of water: In this picture the two hydrogens are represented by white spheres and the oxygen by a red sphere. See pic
ya but my question is other one than that?
