Steam is water in a gaseous state. It is hotter and less dense than liquid water. Both consist of two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom (H20), and water vapor (steam), ice, and water can all exist at the same time when their temperature is held at the 'triple point' of water, 0.01oC.

Alike... Both have a Specific heat value of 0.5 Both are another state of water --------------------------------------------------------- Different... Ice is 32 Deg F and below while steam is 212 Deg. F and above To change water to ice you need 144 BTU (latent heat of fusion) To change water to steam you need 970.3 BTU (latent heat of evaporation)

Ice is a solid. Water is a liquid. Steam is a gas. On a molecular level: Ice has water molocules that are tightly attached. Water molocules are attached and stay together through adhesion. Steam is a gas thereby making it hard for the molocules to stay together because the molocules are not tightly held together.
