its because the compound has different properties
for example, salt
a mixture between two deadly elements, sodium and chlorine. but their compound makes a thing that you need to survive
the compounds have different properties than their elements.
youre welcome : )

I believe it is because the water "smothers" the flames, blocking any oxygen in the air from them.
You could also look at it like this: Chocolate is delicious (in my opinion) and so are salt and vinegar chips (also in my opinion). But chocolate-covered salt and vinegar chips would be gross! Well, at least I think so.
