Water's melting point and boiling point varies according to external pressure, volume and temperature. Hence one of the physical parameters used to identity water varies. This implies that it is a compound and not an element as for the latter, all of it's properties remain the same under any condition.
Water is stable at normal conditions. This is unlike elements which tend to be reactive (unless they are noble gases, but they exist as gas under normal conditions while water is a liquid).

Answer:
The melting point of water as well as boiling point varied on the external pressure, volume and surrounding temperature. This implies that water is a compound and not an element. This is because an element's properties remain uniform irrespective of external conditions. -Water is stable at room conditions.
