उत्तर
Water (H2O) is made of Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Valency of Hydrogen is 1, and valency of Oxygen is 2.
Valency of one Hydrogen atom = 1
Valency of one Oxygen atom = 2
Therefore, to balance the valency of Oxygen atom, 2 atoms of Hydrogen atoms are required.
Hence, 2 atoms of Hydrogen will combine with 1 atom of Oxygen to form one molecule of water with the chemical formula H2O.
