One water molecule has a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons (8 from the oxygen atom and 1 from each of the two hydrogen atoms).

#H_2O #

#darr#

Hydrogen #(H_2):# atomic number #1,# but of #2# atoms

#2 xx 1 = 2#

Oxygen #(O):# atomic number #8,# but of #1# atom

#1 xx 8 = 8#

Electron #= 2 + 8 = 10#
