* Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO):
* Sodium (Na): 1 atom per molecule
* Chlorine (Cl): 1 atom per molecule
* Oxygen (O): 1 atom per molecule
Therefore, each molecule of bleach contains one oxygen atom.
Hydrogen is not directly present in the main component of bleach (NaClO). However, bleach is typically a solution in water (H₂O), meaning there are many hydrogen atoms in the water molecules that make up the bleach solution.
To summarize:
* Oxygen atoms: 1 per molecule of NaClO
* Hydrogen atoms: Not directly in NaClO, but present in the water used to make the bleach solution.
