Answer:

The compound, H₂O, will not be found on the periodic table. This is because the periodic table only consists of individual elements. That being said, the elements found within H₂O are located on the periodic table. H₂O consists of hydrogen, denoted by the symbol "H", and oxygen, denoted by the symbol "O". The subscript (the 2) tells us that there are 2 hydrogen atoms located in the H₂O molecule.

Hydrogen is the first element listed on the periodic table and can be found in the top leftmost position. Oxygen is the eighth element on the periodic able and is located in the second row at the top right.
