The 2 in the compound H2O means that there are only 2 hydrogen atoms.

simple as that
It just means 2.

it means

Hydrogen, 2 oxygen.

So it's basically just 2.

H2o is actually just the scientific name for water, and it means 1 hydrogen atom, and 2 oxygen atoms.

Hope that answers all your questions.

Thanks! :)

Incorrect, I'm afraid. it means 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a convention in chemistry to use capital letters.

Its mean 2 parts of Hydrogen & One part of Oxygen.
