yes.
Snow and Ice = water (H2O) in solid form.
Steam = water (H2O) in gaseous form.
The use of steam to melt ice is a physical change. The ice is still the same substance (water), but it changes from a solid to a liquid form due to the gain of heat energy from the steam. No new substances are formed during this process.
Ice to water to steam.
Yes, snow and ice are made up of water molecules, which consist of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. When water freezes into ice or falls as snow, the molecules arrange themselves into a crystal structure, forming the solid forms we see.
The three phases of H2O in order of increasing entropy are: solid (ice) < liquid (water) < gas (steam). Entropy generally increases as a substance transitions from a solid to a liquid to a gas due to the increase in molecular disorder and freedom of movement.
Don't they all exist in the three states of matter? Depending on the temperature...
Forms of H2O
Water, ice and steam, all are H2O but are different states of water. Water-liquid state Ice- solid state Steam- Gaseous state

The use of steam to melt ice is a physical change. The ice is still the same substance (water), but it changes from a solid to a liquid form due to the gain of heat energy from the steam. No new substances are formed during this process.
Rain, snow, and ice are all forms of precipitation. They originate from water vapor in the atmosphere that condenses and forms into liquid droplets (rain), ice crystals (snow), or frozen water (ice) before falling to the ground.
Water is always H2O whether it is hot water, cold water, ice, or steam.
Steam and ice are both forms of water. They have the same chemical composition (H2O) but different physical states due to differences in temperature. Steam is gaseous water at high temperatures, while ice is solid water at low temperatures.
Ice is the solid form of water, while steam is the gaseous form of water. They both represent different phases of the same substance, H2O.
Snow turns into ice through a process known as compaction. As layers of snow settle and compress over time, air pockets between the snowflakes are eliminated, causing the snow crystals to bond together more tightly. Gradually, this compaction results in the formation of ice.
With the usual meaning of "ice" and "steam", both are forms of water.Note that you can also call frozen forms of substances other than water "ice"; similarly, gaseous forms of substances other than water may also be called "steam".
To change ice to water, heat the ice until it reaches its melting point of 0°C, causing it to turn into water. To change water to steam, continue heating the water until it reaches its boiling point of 100°C, causing it to evaporate and turn into steam.
One example of a substance that can change from a solid to a vapor and vice versa is water. When water is heated, it changes from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) and eventually to a vapor (steam). When steam is cooled, it condenses back into liquid water, and if cooled further, it freezes back into solid ice.
