How does the atomic theory account for the fact that when 1.00g of water is decomposed into its elements 0.111g of hydrogen and 0.889g of oxygen are obtained regardless of the source of the water

because water is formed by sharing of electrons and not by ion formation because of the bond they make the individual weight ofelements do not add up to their compound form

Answer:

 The atomic number and types of atoms in a compound are constant, regardless of source. Water will always be composed of two parts water and on part oxygen. Thus, 1.0g of pure water should always contain the same  amounts of hydrogen and oxygen, no matter where the sample is obtained from.
