They are equally important to survive, but I guess you can go longer without water than without oxygen.

Well.............4 life..... both oxy and water are compulsory, bcoz without oxygen,as u only said that H2O is made up of H & O, there will be no water and without water there nobody can live on earth. But as far as concerned, i think that without water and food u can live at least for some days, i have done it, but without oxygen,anyone can bet, u will die in few minutes (take it as 2 to 3 minutes).
So.......result is in front of u, oxygen has more importance than water........especially for human life!!!!

I can say that oxygen is more important than water because water can only be produced when there is an atom of oxygen.. and oxygen is essential in the survival of animals and human. Also, most of the important compounds that we use contains oxygen atoms.

oxygen is definitely more important as we need that to survive on a minute bases.water is essential for life but you can do about six hours without actually drinking water or needing to drink it which you can't even as much as try in the absence of oxygen. among the two molecules hydrogen and oxygen again i'll say oxygen.

Both are pretty damn important considering we would all be dead without both of them
but I guess......
Water b/c I'm sure we could find a way to get oxygen out of the water or just morph into lil fishies to survive lol

I think oxygen is more important because if you you connot breath you would die so on. If so you wouldn't be able to drink h2o even though it is extemly important

oxygen because you can don't eat water for 2 days but only two minutes without oxygen
you burn oxygen every second in your every cell

both of them are equally important.there is no relationship between formulae of water and composition.h2o is there because it requires 2 molecules of hydrogen to form a bond with oxygen

A man can live for 10 days without water and only a few minutes without oxygen.Now which one would you prefer?

Though each element, may exist independent of the other, they have a codependent relationship without which we ain't gonna live. For our use, I would think they are equally important.
