I was thinking 2 but im not sure.
A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. In a chemical equation, what would be the correct way to represent six water molecules?
6 H (2) O
H (12) O (6)
6 H (2) O (2)
2 H (6) O (3)
6H(2)O?
Typing the questions/answers as you did makes it hard to follow. I have redone it to show how to do it in the future.

Atoms must be the same on both sides of the equation. The full equation will be
2Ag2O --> 4Ag + O2

It would be written as 6H2O but it's difficult to write subscripts on this forum so 6H(2)O or 6H2O will suffice
To determine the number of silver atoms on the products side of the equation, we need to analyze the given reactants: 2 Ag2O.
In Ag2O, the subscript 2 indicates that there are two silver atoms per molecule of Ag2O. So, if there are two molecules of Ag2O, there would be a total of 2 x 2 = 4 silver atoms. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
Now let's look at the representation of six water molecules. The correct way to represent it would be: 6 H2O.
In H2O, the subscript 2 indicates that there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule of water. So, multiplying by 6 would give us a total of 6 x 2 = 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 x 1 = 6 oxygen atoms. Therefore, the correct representation is 6 H2O.
So, the correct answer would be the option: 6 H2O
