The correct response is:
There are two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen in a water molecule.
This explains why, in the decomposition of water (H₂O), twice as much hydrogen gas (H₂) is produced compared to oxygen gas (O₂). Each water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom, leading to the formation of twice as many hydrogen molecules as oxygen molecules when water is decomposed.
