Question

Water is a compound that is made out of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Which statement about water is true?

A.
Water is usually a gas like the elements oxygen and hydrogen.

B.
Water has a set of properties that are different from oxygen and hydrogen.

C.
Water has properties that are a blend of the properties of oxygen and hydrogen.

D.
Water is flammable like the elements oxygen and hydrogen.

Answer 1

B.

Water has a set of properties that are different from oxygen and hydrogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic properties of these elements are different from those of water. However, hydrogen and oxygen have some common properties. They are both colorless, odorless gases , and they both readily react with other elements—making them "reactive" elements. ... Hydrogen has the lowest density of all the elements. Yee.

Answer 2

Answer is: B. Water has a set of properties that are different from oxygen and hydrogen.

For example, boiling point of water is 100°C and oxygen has boiling point of -183°C and hydrogen has boiling point of -253°C.

Another example, at room temperature water is liquid, oxygen and hydrogen are gases.

Water is not flammable, hydrogen anf oxygen are flammable.

Water has polar covalent bonds, oxygen anf hydrogen have nonpolar bonds between atoms.
