Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The two elements hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) are combined chemically to form water `(H_(2)O)` which boils at a fixed temperature.
(ii) The properties of water are altogether different from the constituting elements. For example, molecular hydrogen `(H_(2))` is combustible and molecular oxygen `(O_(2))` supports cumbustion. But water `(H_(2)O)` extinguishes fire.
