Covalent compounds contain atoms that share electrons - for example, hydrogen chloride (HCl) share electrons (one from each atom), in order to achieve a full set of 8 electrons in their outer ...

Two species that transform into each other by loss or gain of a proton. 

The equation for the reaction is; 2H₂ +O₂ = 2H₂O

From the equation it can be seen that 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles...
