In a water molecule an oxygen atom forms two bonds with two hydrogen atoms in order to complete its octet (except H) and become stable
Oxygen requires 2 electrons in its outer most orbit while Hydrogen requires one more electron in order to become stable
hence there is no coefficient to oxygen in water
THEy share electrons and become stable as shown in the picture
