When the two substances h2o and o2 are put in the same container they do not attract each other Why does this happen?

H₂O (water) and O₂ (oxygen) do not attract each other in the same container primarily due to their differing molecular interactions. Water molecules are polar and exhibit strong hydrogen bonding, while oxygen molecules are nonpolar and do not engage in such interactions. As a result, the two substances remain separate, with water molecules preferentially interacting with each other rather than with oxygen molecules. This lack of attraction is a consequence of the differences in polarity and intermolecular forces between the two substances.
