Double layered means 2 hydrogen on top of a single oxygen. Water is polar so it has a sort of V shape where the hydrogen are next to each other. |

Depends on the chemical composition. Hydrogen doesn't just combine dually with Oxygen. Just most commonly due to the abundance of both particulates. :) |

That's why the Hindenburg didn't suddenly explode while they were filling it up due to a tiny microscopic leak somewhere. Also for LDHs water's involved, kind of, but it's got more to do with metal hydroxides forming clay layers. |

Hail ftw. I've only seen it two times in my life, but hell it's awesome. |
