Question

describe an experiment to show that water is an oxide for hydrogen

Answer 1

2H + O -------> H2O

and hydrogen react with oxygen so it is an oxide of hydrogen

like iron react with Oxygen and give

iron oxide

Answer 2

Water is an oxide of hydrogen. Thus, represented by H2O. But the oxide of fluorine is represented by the formula OF 2 and not F 2O (as in case of H2O)

Water is an oxide of hydrogen. Thus, represented by H2O. But the oxide of fluorine is represented by the formula OF 2 and not F 2O (as in case of H2O)Reason: In between oxygen and Fluorine, Fluorine has more electronegativity than that of oxygen. Thus in OF 2 it has a negative oxidation state of -1 OF 2 is a fluoride of oxygen not oxide of fluorine
