Water is a liquid substance, but it consists of gases, oxygen and hydrogen, how so?

Water under normal conditions is liquid. A water molecule is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, but not gas molecules.

Substances oxygen and hydrogen at normal conditions are gases and each molecule of these gases consists of two atoms. The concept of state of aggregation is not applicable to oxygen and hydrogen themselves as chemical elements.

Based on this, we can say that the statement is erroneous and there is a substitution of concepts. In the composition of a substance, water is about the chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen, and not about independent substances.
