In a water molecule each hygrogen atom shareswhat with the oxygen atom?
Each hydrogen shares one electron with the oxygen atom.
Are the elements oxygen and the element hydrogen made from the same of atom?
No. A Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron with the electron arrangement 1. An Oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons with the elecron arrangement 2. 6.
Covalent bonds form between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule as a result of the?
Ionization of the hydrogen atoms, which draw to it an oxygen atom; one oxygen atom to two hydrogen atoms. Each oxygen atom has two free electrons while each hydrogen atom has one free electron. The hydrogen atoms form a weak polar bond.
Why does the oxygen atomhave more electrons surrounding it than a hydrogen atom?
A hydrogen only has one valence electron, while oxygen has 6.
A hydrogen bond can form between a hydrogen atom of one molecule and which atom of another molecule?
since hydrogen atom has no electron in its shell, it acquires positive charge. when a negatively charged atom comes in contact with hydrogen atom, it donates h atom a electron to make a covalent bond. but when it breaks the negative atom restores its electron.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?
In water molecules there are 2 atoms of hydrogen of and 1 atom of oxygen present. each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron with the oxygen atom. So the total number of electrons shared with oxygen are 2,total no. of electrons shared by hydrogen is 2 and the total no. of electrons shared by each hydrogen atom is 1.
Why does an oxegyn atom bond with two hydrogen atoms very easily?
oxygen has 6 valence elctrons and needs two more to complete its electron shell and hydrogen is just what it needs hydrogen has one electron which makes a complete electron shell for oxygen.
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
Is an electron in a hydrogen atom the same as an electron in a uranium atom?
yes
Who is lighter electron or hydrogen atom?
electron
How many lone pairs has hydrogen sulphide?
A water molecule is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Oxygen atom has six electrons in its outer most shell and a hydrogen atom has one electron in its outer most shell. Oxygen and hydrogen atoms are unstable because they have less than eight electrons in their outer most shells. Oxygen needs two electrons and hydrogen atom requires one electron tocomplete their valence shell. Oxygen atom combines with two hydrogen atoms by sharingelectrons. The bonds present between hydrogen atoms and oxygen atom are called single covalent bonds. In this way, oxygen and hydrogen atoms complete their outer most orbits. Oxygen shares two electrons with hydrogen atoms but its four electrons remain free in the water molecule. Therefore, there are two electron pairs or four electrons present in a water molecule.
Why is ethanol miscible with water?
Ethanol : C2H5-O-H Water : O-H-O One of the Oxygen atom in water can form a Hydrogen bond with the last Hydrogen atom as shown above. Hydrogen bonds are the electrostatic forces of attraction between an electron-deficient hydrogen bonded to a very electronegative atom and the lone pair of a neighbouring very electronegative atom. In Ethanol, the final Hydrogen is bonded with Oxygen, which is a very electronegative atom, therefore the Hydrogen atom is electron-deficient because the shared electron pair is attracted very close to the Oxygen and hence creates a strong dipole moment. In water, both the Oxygen atoms are very electronegative and will attract the positive end of Ethanol, which is the Hydrogen to form Hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are much stronger than van der Waals' forces or permanent dipole attraction.
