Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water. At an atomic level, how do we know that a chemical reaction has occurred?

• Hydrogen molecules are negative, and oxygen positive

• For every oxygen atom, two hydrogen atoms are needed.

• The hydrogen and oxygen atoms regroup into a new molecule.

• Oxygen atoms are much larger than hydrogen atoms.
