Hydrogen gas is highly combustible in nature but it does not support combustion.For example, fill a glass jar with hydrogen gas and turn it upside down. Introduce a burning candle near the mouth of the jar. The gas at the jar burns but the burning candle gets put off. This shows that hydrogen gas is combustible but does not support combustion.
Where in oxygen gas, is the one which makes combustion possible. And when these two gases combine together, they no longer possess their individual properties, because they form a molecule.
Properties of water are implied due to hydrogen bond and not because of hydrogen and oxygen gases.
Water is a compound formed when inflammable hydrogen reacts with oxygen.
The properties of water are very different from those of the elements from which it is composed.
