What is water made up of?

First of all H2 doesn't mean there are two molecules of Hydrogen, it means there are one. The two is there because it's a diatomic molecule. There are 7 diatomic molecules - Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Iodine, Chlorine, Bromine and At. And H2O is the chemical name for water... two hydrogens and one oxygen :)
