Eli5 – how can water be made of hydrogen and oxygen?

458 views

Liquid water – made from two types of gas. Makes no sense to me, whatsoever. Water seems to be one of the strangest substances and we completely take it for granted that, apparently, it’s made of gas!

Water can also be a gas, (water Vapor) and a solid (ice) the state of it all depends on how “hot” matter is, if you cool down oxygen real low it will become a liquid aswell. It just so happens to be, water is a liquid between 0-100 degrees Celsius

Also oxygen and hydrogen aren’t a gas, they are molecules which happen to be in a gas form at room temperature

edit: i made a mistake.
