Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. That’s why water is sometimes referred to as H2O.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cohesion: Hydrogen Bonds Make Water Sticky In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. The attraction between individual water molecules creates a bond known as a hydrogen bond.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, in one mole of water (H2O), there are two moles of hydrogen atoms and one mole of oxygen atoms.
