Solution
Hydrogen and oxygen are considered as elements because they cannot be split further into simpler substances by usual chemical methods as they are made of one kind of atoms. On the other hand, water is not an element, as it consists of different types of atoms, i.e., hydrogen and oxygen and can be split up into its components by chemical processes.
