Why Doesn’t Water Burn, Despite Being Made Of Combustible Substances (Hydrogen And Oxygen)?

The video explains why water, composed of hydrogen and oxygen, does not burn. It delves into the chemical process of combustion, requiring a fuel, an oxidizer, and heat. Hydrogen is highly flammable, but when it reacts with oxygen, it forms water, which is already 'burnt' and stable. The video also highlights the role of oxygen as a primary oxidizer and why water is an effective fire extinguisher. The explosive nature of hydrogen and oxygen reactions is illustrated by the Hindenburg disaster, emphasizing the volatility of creating water artificially.
