The properties of compound are different from its constituent elements. Water which is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen has property to extinguish fire though its constituent elements do not possess this property.

Bcz water is a product of reaction of hydrogen & oxygen .and as a product of oxygen it has entirely new properties irrespective of what hydrogen and oxygen had . so it can not do the work as hydrogen or oxygen do
