How to Write the Chemical Formula for Water

To write the formula for water we need we'll need to know the structural formula for water. Since water is not a systematic name we are not able to figure the formula out from the name.

The water molecule has two Hydrogen atoms bonded to a central Oxygen atom. Therefor the chemical formula for water is H2O.
