What is the difference between a bottle of water and a bottle of hydrogen and oxygen gas?

In water (H2O), the hydrogen and oxygen are chemically bonded together. While hydrogen and oxygen are both extremely reactive (read: flamable), they don't spontaneously convert from H2 and O2 into H2O. In order to have the molecular equivalent of H2O in H2 and O2 in a bottle you would also have to have an astronomically higher concentration of H2 and O2 than present in the atmosphere (which is mostly nitrogen).

What is the difference between water and hydroxide?
The difference is the amount of hydrogen and oxygen
How and why do the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in water differ from bonds between hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrogen bonding exists between hydrogen and oxygen in water, becuase of the huge electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. This arises, due to the huge electron affinity of oxygen. Such interaction is not possible between carbon and hydrogen, as athe carbon is not as electronegative as oxygen.
What is more polar a carbon hydrogen bond or a carbon oxygen bond?
A carbon-oxygen bond is more polar than a carbon-hydrogen bond, because the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen.
What contributes to the polarity of a water molecule?
This is the difference of electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen.
Is hydrogen oxygen ionic or covalent?
The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is covalent.

A bottle of hydrogen peroxide that eventually turns into a bottle of water and oxygen gas is an example of?
decomposition
A bottle of hydrogen peroxide that eventually turns into a bottle of water and oxygen gas is an example of a what?
Decompostion reaction
A bottle of hydrogen peroxide that eventually turns into a bottle of water and oxygen gas is an example of what?
Decompostion reaction
Why water different from its components?
this because the chemical reaction between Oxygen & Hydrogen obviously the Hydrogen bonds between Oxygen & Hydrogen.
Is hydrogen oxygen ionic or covalent?
The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is covalent.
Why is the bond between H and F is not ionic but the electronegativity difference is 1.9?
The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is not a covalent bond. When hydrogen bonds with oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, then it is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds will be stronger than a regular covalent bond, so the electronegativity difference will be higher.
How does the oxygen being burned in a bottle create vacuum that sucks an egg in?
because there is is a pressure difference between the inside of the bottle and the outside. the pressure is lower in the bottle the egg gets sucked in. when the oxygen is burned there is less matter in the bottle then at first and that results in less pressure[vacuum]
What is the equation for the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen?
Hydrogen + oxygen → water2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
