If you compressed hot water where the atoms are highly excited enough to form ice is it possible to prevent the atoms forming bonds with each other so that when the pressure is released the atoms would return to there highly charged state again i.e. hot water.

No
Water is not really compressible (unless you are talking about using very high forces)
Ice is less dense than water. Compression of water will therefore not help ice form.
Ice does not have covalent bonds. Ice has 'hydrogen bonds'. These are very weak and are due to associations between the oxygen on one water molecule and a hydrogen atom on another water molecule on a macro scale.
Hydrogen bonds are the reason why water is able to form a liquid (think of all the other similar small molecules that are gases) and the reason why this planet full of life exists...Without H-bonding all water would instantly vapourise...

Ok, I am guessing you know that ice is less dense than water. So typically when you compress ice enough it goes back to a liquid state. What I think would happen in your situation is that you wouldn't be able to lose your heat quickly enough. You would just end up at a very high pressure. If the water then cooled enough to freeze it wouldn't, but just stay in a sub zero liquid state. I could be totally wrong as this isn't my chosen field, but from what I know that is my best theory.

If you keep the temperature constant, and increase the pressure the boiling point increases.

So eventually the steam will turn to "ice" if put under enough pressure with temperature is kept constant.

The bonds however will form, because by definition ice has bonds.

People stereotype rap on what they see and hear through mainstream You couldn't stereotype 90's rap because every rapper was different Now rappers just auto tune their voice, wear skinny jeans and snap back hats, talk (not rap) about popping Molly's and spending money on Versace thongs and their love for white girls and say f*** emcees (the difference between rap and emcee is that rappers rap for money and emcees do it for the love so their saying doing it because you love hip hop is retarded) so when some one hears the trash on the radio they think that the rapper is greedy that he has to say " you idiots are the reason why I'm rich" they didn't do anything to deserve the fame And the ones that did sold out and discovered other garbage rappers So if you really want to know why people hate hip hop with out even listening to it, it's because those bums like Weezy F for failure, young cheesy, futurama, snitch homie quan, ASAP sloppy, Kanye the yeast infection, and drake the cake

Water is not compressible per se. If you insist on compressing it its temperature rises and it vaporises. You can then compress the resultant steam if you wish.
