Which is the chemical formula for water?

Water (chemical formula H2O) is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms.

It is vital for all known forms of life, even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients. Its chemical formula H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. "Water" is the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.

Knew immediately that Lilly authored this question.

5.3% have finger trouble. Either that or they're members of admin trying to give questions credibility.🤔 Of course, mummy and daddy may have let the babies have a go. 🙄

Denise Currie, She has been prolific. I believe I've seen two questions so far, out of the dozens, that were "valid" questions with reasonable options and not answered within the question or by use of the picture. It is indeed unfortunate that, in the typical case, like this one, one can immediately identify the answer and the author.

One of my science teachers in high school (many years ago) taught us a little poem that I never forgot - "our science teacher's dead and gone. Alas! He is no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4!"

I've heard characters in children's cartoons refer to it as H2O. That's how absurdly easy this question was.

Really don't like the replace question reward

Joris van Pelt

and the chemical formula of sparkling water is H2CO3

Anyone heard about the teacher who asked her kids what the formula for water was. One little boy said it was HIJKLMNO. When his teacher said that was wrong, he said "No, you told us yesterday it was H2O, so it's right." He couldn't understand why he was wrong

Easy enough, but nowhere near the difficulty of "What is used to make ice?"

If this keeps up everyone should quit Quizzclub.

Brenda Hanneman Wallace, If it is Carol, she went even more overboard as Lilly in the simplicity of her questions, the use of answers within the questions, and the use of pictures containing the answers. ;>)
