2H2O

Answer 1

The molecule that shows two atoms of hydrogen (H) is 2H2O.

Here's a breakdown of the options:

1. 2CH4: This indicates 2 molecules of methane, which has a total of 8 hydrogen atoms (2 x 4 H).
2. H2SO4: This molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms.
3. HO2: This molecule has 1 hydrogen atom.
4. 2H2O: This indicates 2 molecules of water, which has a total of 4 hydrogen atoms (2 x 2 H).

Therefore, both H2SO4 and 2H2O can represent two atoms of hydrogen, but if you strictly need to identify a single molecule with two hydrogen atoms, H2SO4 is the best representation. However, in the context of numbers, 2H2O has more than two hydrogen atoms.

If you are specifically looking for an answer with only two hydrogen atoms, then H2SO4 is correct.
