When you heat something it becomes lighter, if it started of as a solid it will eventually become light enough to be a liquid, and liquids become gases. When you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) it becomes light enough to become vapour, at this point it also becomes lighter than air so it immediately rises. The reason you can see steam is that when it floats it cools from the air and forms droplets.

The change from water to steam is?
water changes to steam by the process called evaporation
When water is heated rapidly changes into steam this process is called?
This process is called boiling.
Is steam turning into water chemical or physical?
Chemical changes are those in which the chemical composition of a substance changes during the process. But when steam turns into water or vice versa, only the physical state of the substance undergoes a change but the chemical composition remains same. Thus steam turning into water is a physical change.
How the steam changes back into a liquid inside the condenser?
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water
What is the process called in which water turns to gas?
The process when water changes into a gas is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs for pure water at 100 degrees celsius (-173 K) when water molecules begin to move around very rapidly and split up.
The change from water to steam is?
water changes to steam by the process called evaporation
During this process hot water changes to steam?
Evaporation
How can you turn steam back into water?
You can turn steam back into water by condensing it, condensation is a process which changes a gas into water.
When water is heated rapidly changes into steam this process is called?
This process is called boiling.
How hot water changes to steam is?
It changes it to steam by evaporation.
When water changes to steam it is chemical change?
it is a physical change because you can actually see the process
The process by which water changes to liquid is called?
It is by condensation that water vapor changes to liquid water.
What changes from gas to liquid?
Water changes to steam and can evaporate.
Is steam turning into water chemical or physical?
Chemical changes are those in which the chemical composition of a substance changes during the process. But when steam turns into water or vice versa, only the physical state of the substance undergoes a change but the chemical composition remains same. Thus steam turning into water is a physical change.
When water boils it changes to what?
Steam water vapor
How the steam changes back into a liquid inside the condenser?
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water
Water is heated and changed to STEAM?
That is called boiling. And it is something you can see and observe, but it is something tht is chemically relted and so it is a chemical change.
