Water (H2O) consists of two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O). The atomic number of hydrogen is 1, and the atomic number of oxygen is 8. Therefore, the "atom number" of water, considering the sum of the atomic numbers of its constituent atoms, would be:

1 (hydrogen) + 1 (hydrogen) + 8 (oxygen) = 10
