Is water the only substance on earth that exists in three states of matter?

Yes. Liquid water. Solid, ice. Gas, steam vapor. Because when its melting it turns into water and its still partly forzen (in ice form), and the steam vapor bcuz its so cold.

∙ 7y agoNo, different matter has different requirements for to change. Water is just one of the most common that we see. Its freezing point is relatively high, as is the boiling point. For instance the boiling point of alcohol is much lower, and turns to a gas more quickly. So for matter to change states the right temperature is necessary.

∙ 12y agoNo, although water can exist, naturally, in all three of the common states, or phases, of matter: solid, liquid, or gas.
Related Information:
There are two other phases of matter that are commonly referrenced: the Bose-Einstein condensates and plasma.
However, theoretical physics references many more.

∙ 14y agoNo, everything (in the right conditions) will exist as a solid, liquid, and gas.

∙ 11y agoAll of the elements ( with the exception of helium) can exist in any of the three "states of matter. The state is a function of how much heat and pressure is available at the given time.

∙ 7y agoYes, water is the only substance that exists NATURALLY on Earth in all three physical states of matter-gas, liquid, and solid.

What is a physical form that a substance can exist?
Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. A substance can occur in any one these states. All matter occurs in one of these 4 states. These are the 4 states of matter.
Use states of matter in a sentence?
Among the four known states of matter, plasma is the least found on the Earth's crust.
Describe the states of matter?
Solid: atoms/molecules are packed tightly together Liquid: atoms/molecules are close but looser than a solid which gives them the ability to move more. Gas: atoms/molecules are further apart from one another and have more energy letting them move around as they please. Plasma: same as gas except the atoms/molecules have a charge (positive or negative) to them.
What Is the only substance that exists on earth at standard pressure as a solid liquid or gas?
The substance is water. Strictly speaking though, water doesn't exist anywhere on earth in a pure water form in any of the three states. As a gas and as a liquid, all the water on earth is a light carbonic acid, as it contains considerable amounts of carbon, and other chemicals, earth water has a ph of 7. all water vapour on earth is carbonic acid, or another acid or alcaline mix. Sulphur can also be found in solid, liquid, and gas form. So it seems the question is a trick! liquid sulphur drips and flows all over volcanoes... many chemicals occupy the three states in varying degrees of purity.
Who discovered the fifth state of matter?
sir william crookes in 1879
Is water the only substance on earth?
AnswerCommonly exists in all of its different states
What is the only substance on earth that can be found in all three states of matter?
WateR
Why is plasma not commonly thought of when considering the states of matter?
It exists at incredibly high temperatures not usually encountered on Earth.
Most matter on Earth exists as?
compounds
What are other substances that exist in all the three states of matter?
(*There are four, or technically five states of matter, including solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, and the exotic Einstein-Bose condensates.)On the surface of Earth, the most common substance is water, which has a comparatively narrow range of temperatures separating its phases: ice below 0 degrees Celsius, water from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius, and steam above 100 degrees Celsius. Almost every substance has a 'triple point' where at the correct temperature and pressure it exists in all three states at once (solid, liquid gas). Further to that, at the 'critical point' there exists no distinct phase boundaries for a substance.
What are the three states of a substance essential for life on Earth?
solid, liquid and gas are the three states of a substance essential for life on earth.
Is all Matter on earth is living?
No. There is nothing like living matter. Matter does not live. But life also does not sustain or exists without matter.
On earth what does water exist as?
Water can exist in three states, liquid, vapor and as a solid. On the earth, it exists in all three states.
What does water exist on earth?
Water can exist in three states, liquid, vapor and as a solid. On the earth, it exists in all three states.
What is all of matter and energy that exists including earth stars planets and dust?
The universe.
Name a substance other than water that exists in solid liquid and gas?
Any substance can be a liquid, solid or gas, provided it has the right amount of energy; water is the only one to naturally occur in all three states on Earth, though.
What physical form can a substance exist?
There are five main physical forms of substance or states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein condensate. The most common ones on earth are solid, liquid and gas.
