Best answer

1. Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and electronic configuration 1. 

2. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its K shell. 

3. Oxygen has atomic 8 and electronic configuration 2, 6. There are 6 electrons in the valence shell of oxygen atom. It means that the electron octet in oxygen is short of two electrons and the valency of oxygen is two. 

4. In the H2O molecule, the oxygen atom complete its octet by sharing two electrons one each with two hydrogen atoms, thus, forming two covalent bonds. While this happens, the duplets of two hydrogen atoms are completed.
