Identify the chemical formula of water, which is H_2O.
Understand that the subscript number in a chemical formula indicates the number of atoms of that element in one molecule.
In H_2O, the subscript '2' after hydrogen (H) means there are 2 hydrogen atoms.
There is no subscript after oxygen (O), which means there is 1 oxygen atom.
Therefore, a water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
