No. The hydrogen and oxygen in water are combined into a single substance; it does not get one property from hydrogen or another from oxygen but rather has its own unique set of properties based on how they are combined. It is unclear what "energy" you are referring to.
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen means that the two gasses would be mixed together, but remain chemically distinct from one another and retain their own properties. You would still have separate hydrogen and oxygen molecules. In a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, water, the two elements are chemically combined to form a new substance with its own set of properties.
When hydrogen and oxygen are kindled in the right quantities, then we mostly don't call the product a mixture. Rather we call it a compound. The most usual compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. Its not important that the compound should have the properties of its constituting elements. If we that water as an example, then we all know that water is a non supporter of combustion whereas hydrogen and oxygen are highly inflammable gases.
When you say hydrogen and oxygen year meant water (H2O)? Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has two oxygens not just one. So they are different compounds.
They are totally different compounds, even though they both contain hydrogen and oxygen. The ratios of the elements are not the same. The formula for water is H2O, and for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. In a molecule of water, two hydrogen atoms are chemically bonded to one oxygen atom, whereas in one molecule of hydrogen peroxide, there are two atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen bonded together. This makes them completely different compounds with different properties.
The bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen is too strong to be destroyed by combustion. Add: The chemical properties of water are different from the properties of hydrogen and water separately. Therefore, water does not support combustion as oxygen does, and water does not explode as hydrogen does.
hydrogen and oxygen makes up water but i think that is the most important properties of water
Some unique properties that the compound water has is oxygen, molecular chemicals, and hydrogen.
2 hydrogens 1 oxygen
Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. The combination of hydrogen and oxygen is needed in order to create a molecule with the properties characteristic of water. Water cannot exist without oxygen.
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would consist of separate H2 and O2 molecules. The hydrogen and oxygen would retain their own properties. The most common compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. In it the two elements are combined into molecules of H2O, which has its own set of properties distinct from those of hydrogen or oxygen.

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.
Air is composed of many different gases that are not chemically combined and retain their individual properties. Water is a compound because it is composed of two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded to an oxygen atom, and the properties of water are different from the properties of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
yes it does, as ice is the frozen state of water and water's chemical formula is h2o, where "h" is hydrogen and "o" is oxygen, but the chemical properties of hydrogen are not same as in "h2" cause it has been reacted with oxygen and lost its original chemical properties as single atom bond....

Hydrogen bonds between the Oxygen of one molecule and the hydrogen of another :)
