The total number of atoms is 3.

Make sure to not confuse elements with atoms. Elements are substances used in a chemical equation that cannot be broken down. There are two elements in H2O: hydrogen and oxygen.

Atoms in the compound is the number of elements. Hydrogen would be one atom, but since it has a subscript of 2, it would mean that there are two hydrogen atoms.  Oxygen is another atom, however, it does not have a subscript. Don't make that fool you because there is actually a subscript which is the understood one. That is why there are three atoms.

Hope this helps!!!

What conditions are important in determining if it will rain or snow?​
zhannawk [14.2K]

For snow to fall to the ground, the temperature must be cold both up in the clouds where snowflakes form, and down at ground level. If the air near ground level is too warm, the snow will melt on its way down, changing to rain or freezing rain. Moisture is needed to form clouds and precipitation.
