two hydrogen and 1 oxygen

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!!!

Kitty [74]
The number of energy levels to which an electron can jump depends on the amount of energy the electron possesses. Each energy level has a specific amount of energy an electron needs to have before it can be in there. So, if an electron doesn't have enough energy to be in that energy level then it won't jump to that higher level.
