Fox was uncharacteristically quiet as he drove, and if it werenât for his occasional turning of the steering wheel, I would have thought someone had crafted a wax-statue of him and stuck it next to me. âThanks for driving me,â I finally said, just to say something.
Everything is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, like oxygen or hydrogen. Atoms join together to form molecules. 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. A single drop of water contains billions of water molecules.
Properties of Water--Notes. Water is a molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It has the formula H 2O. When. oxygen and hydrogen combine (H-O-H) they form a v-shaped triangular molecule. While water molecules. are electrically neutral, the oxygen atom holds a small negative charge and the two hydrogen atoms hold.
