Question

why water does not decay

Answer 1

Decay is a nuclear process, the nucleus of an element decays (breaks down) into new particles. Water is a compound, therefore the molecule cannot decay. It can be broken apart with electricity, a process called electrolysis. It can be involved in a chemical reaction so that new compounds are formed and water is broker down. Prior to 1936, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) was manufactured in a chemical process that used water as an actual reactant but required energy to work. A new process was discovered in 1936 using a metal catalyst and compounds other than water. This was more efficient and economical and Hydrogen Peroxide has been made this way ever since.
