Want this question answered?
it is a compound............. as it is made up of proper composition of hydrogen and oxygen
Compound have constant composition whereas mixture have variable. Now, water made by constant composition of hydrogen and oxygen (two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen) whereas air have many elements with variable composition.
No. Air is a mixture made mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would be unstable. A spark or sufficient heat source would ignite the mixture and form water.
No. Simply mixing hydrogen and oxygen will not get you water. You must burn the mixture.
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.
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.
The compound is water - H2O; the molecule of hydrogen is H2.

No. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, not a mixture.

In water, two hydrogen are covalently bonded to one oxygen making it a compound not a mixture.

H20 is the molecular composition of water. Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms are pulled to the oxygen atom through forces called hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen and Oxygen, though it is a compound, not a mixture.
