Question

Use water as an example to contrast the properties of a compound with the elements from which it is composed

Answer 1

Properties of a compound is completely different from their elements.

Water is composed by hydrogen and oxygen.

For example, the boiling point of oxygen is - 183 °C and hydrogen is - 253 °C, meanwhile, water has a boiling point of 100°C

Another example is when you put a burning wooden splint into oxygen, it burns more brightly. Put it in hydrogen, you may hear a "pop" sound, or even explode when large amount of hydrogen. But if u put a burning splint in water, it goes off.
