I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept that water has more or less oxygen. Let me preface that I have never had Chemistry even in high school. I am sure this is pretty basic stuff.
I understand that water is made of 2 parts oxygen and 1 part hydrogen. (or is it the other way around?). Along with assorted chemicals and minerals that makes tap water. Is it that within the solution that is water there is free oxygen. Similar to the way air has more or less oxygen. You would think I would get this having aquariums for years.
Is it that once the oxygen has bonded with hydrogen to make water it is no longer oxygen but H2O.
Man I am really confused and now my brain hurts. I need a drink
