It doesn't have flammable properties. It is inert.


Because of its chemical composition. And then it's a good thing it doesn't, since we use water so much in our daily lives.

Why doesnt h2o burn if h and o are flamible?

Hydrogen is flammable. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but is needed for flammable material to burn. Water doesn't burn because compounds do not keep the properties of the elements it is made up of. In this case, water is what forms when you burn hydrogen. The reaction is: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O. This reaction releases a large amount of energy. However, oxidizing water in this manner would actually take energy, and the molecules that would form from such a reaction are generally unstable.
