Question

The properties of water are different from the properties of elements from which it is formed? Discuss.

Answer 1

• Water is made up of Hydrogen($\mathrm{H}$) and Oxygen($\mathrm{O}$) elements.
• Its formula is ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}.$
• The property of water is completely different than Hydrogen and oxygen elements.
• Water exists in a liquid state at room temperature whereas Hydrogen and Oxygen exist as gases.
• Water is known as the universal solvent whereas oxygen and hydrogen are not so soluble in water.
• Maximum density is shown by water at $4°\mathrm{C}$ whereas the density of hydrogen is less.
• In fact, Hydrogen is the gas having the lowest density among all the gases known.
