| Question: | 2 Oxygen (O) + 2 Hydrogen (H) |
| Solution: | 2 molecules of water (H₂O) |
| Chemical Equation: | 2O + 2H₂ → 2H₂O |
| Explanation: | This reaction describes the formation of water. Two oxygen atoms ⚛️ combine with two diatomic hydrogen molecules (H₂) 🧪 to produce two water molecules. However, this equation is not balanced in terms of the usual form where O₂ is a reactant. The usual reaction is 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. The question is slightly misrepresented as oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule (O₂) in nature, not as individual oxygen atoms. 💥 |
