The ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in water is 2:1.
- A water molecule has two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen joined together by covalent bonds.
- As we know, oxygen atom has six electrons in its outer most shell and hydrogen atom has one electron in its outermost shell.
- Hence, in a molecule of water, and oxygen atom shares electrons with two molecules of hydrogen to complete its outermost shell.
- In this way, a water molecule is formed.
