Yes, they are alike, although they are not very alike. When water turns into water vapour it disolves into the air, and you cannot see it, but steam is created by heat, and doesn't disolve into the air and you can see it.
The water that has been heated to a gas is called water vapor or steam. This occurs when water reaches its boiling point and changes from a liquid to a gas state.
Steam is not a solution; steam is water vapor.
Yes, but that stuff you can see isn't steam. Neither steam nor water vapor are visible. The could of white stuff you can see above a boiling kettle is water droplets formed by the condensation of the water vapor/steam as it collides with the cooler air outside the kettle.
Steam. Not to be confused with vapor, which is a suspension of liquid water molecules in another gas.
So specifically steam will form when you boil water. While water vapor forms when the sun evaporates water. Steam you would most likely see, while water vapor is more of an invisible gas.
Yes water vapor is steam. It is formed when water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius.
Cold steam is not a correct term because steam, by definition, is water vapor that has reached a high temperature. If it's cold, it would just be water vapor or mist.
the speed of the water vapor molecules can be decreased to produce ice
Steam (in all its uses), water vapor (as in humidity).
The process of water turning into gas (water vapor) is called evaporation.Heating water into water vapor is called boiling. High-temperature water vapor is called steam.The water has become water vapor.
No, steam and water vapor are actually the same substance, which is gaseous water. However, steam is typically used to refer to water vapor that is hot and at a high temperature, while water vapor can be at any temperature.
Kettle steam is not a gas; it is actually water vapor. Water vapor is the gaseous phase of water when it reaches a temperature at which it evaporates.
