The periodic table has both hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Water (H_(2)O) s made of both hydrogen and oxygen. Select the statement that explains why H_(2)O is not found on the periodic table. Water is an element while hydrogen and oxygen are compounds on their own. Water is a compound of two different elements hydrogen and oxygen are also compounds. Water is a compound of two different elements while hydrogen and oxygen are individual elements on their own.

The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number. Hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) are both elements and are found on the periodic table. Water (H2O) is a compound formed by the combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It is not an element and therefore not found on the periodic table. The correct statement is that water is a compound of two different elements (hydrogen and oxygen), while hydrogen and oxygen are individual elements on their own. This is because a compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together, and water is a compound because it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together.
