Answer 1

waAter molecular is considered as compound not as mixture.

Answer 2

Answer: Water is a compound and not a mixture.

Explanation:

The physical combination of elements in any proportion when bonded together is called a mixture. Properties of the components are retained in a mixture.

Whereas, the chemical combination of elements in a specific proportion when bonded together is called compound. A compound does not retain properties of its components.

Hydrogen and oxygen together form a water molecule and it does not retain individual properties of hydrogen and oxygen.

A $H_{2}O$ molecule has 2 parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen.

Hence, water is a compound and not a mixture.
