When enough heat is added to water to separate the bonds into hydrogen and oxygen wouldn't that heat cause the molecules to become water as soon as heat isn't being applied.
Since the oxygen and hydrogen want to be in their lower potential energy state as water.
I guess my question is how do the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen stay separate when there is this much heat around them? How are the cooled below their activation energy in order to stay separate?
