A formula reference gives water as H2O. Each hydrogen nucleus has 1 proton and the oxygen nucleus has 8 protons. Enter the total number of protons represented by one water molecule.

10
Բացատրություն
The formula specifies two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, so the proton total is two times 1 plus 8, which equals 10. Treating the formula as HO would omit one hydrogen atom and produce a total that is too small.
