By burning/combusting hydrogen gas in oxygen. The product is water.
Or, by using 'H' electrolysis apparatus to break down water into its component gases. The one 'upright of the 'H' contains the hydrogen to a height. The other 'upright' contains the oxygen to half the height of the hydrogen 'upright'. This indicates that there is twice as much hydrogen as oxygen in water. Hence its compound formula is H2O.

Water is a compound because it is made up of water molecules. There is no such thing as water atoms. Water molecules are made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, in the definite proportion of two hydrogens for one oxygen.

Water is made up of elements Hydrogen and Oxygen with the chemical formula: H2O. It can easily be disassociated with electrolysis into the elements Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2), and reformed with combustion.
It has aspects of both covalent and ionic bonds. It is generally considered neutral, but can be a proton donor to act as a weak acid. H2O --> HO- + H+.
It can also act as a weak base, being a proton acceptor. H2O + H+ --> H3O+.

- By definition, a chemical compound is a substance which is formed when two or more than two different chemical elements combine chemically in a chemical reaction. Water (H2O) is an example of chemical compound which is formed when Hydrogen chemically combines with Oxygen in a chemical reaction like combustion of methane in oxygen rich air. Hence I consider rather regard water as an example of chemical compound.

How will you justify that water is a compound not a mixture?
Water is a compound formed by chemical combination of Hydrogen and Oxygen. Chemical properties are changed in water, therefore it is a compound. also, in water, hydrogen and oxygen are in a fixed proportion by weight i.e. 1:8. these are not the properties of a mixture.
