Answer:
hi.
Explanation:
Water is formed by the chemical bond between 2 hydrogen and one oxygen atom.
A bond between atoms of water can be broken by chemical reaction. Whereas, in a mixture, components are separated by physical means. Example:- Sand and water.
Atoms of water cannot be separated by the physical process.
Hence, water is a compound because it can only be separated into hydrogen and oxygen atom by chemical reaction.
