When steam (or "water vapor") becomes water, the particles are condensating or becoming condensation. This is because the particles are cooling down, thereore not moving fast enough to remain a gas; so it becomes a liquid.

When you blow into a mirrored surface it becomes foggy why?
when the freely following particles of the steam touches the cold surface it changes into water vapor or fogg
Does steam or water have the greatest distance between particles?
water
Do the particles in steam have very low density?
The particles them self, assuming that you are referring to the individual atoms/molecules that makes up a liquid, does not change in "density" when going from one state of matter to another (liquid -> steam). However, the density changes for a certain amount of the matter, for instance one liter. One liter of water weighs a lot more than one liter of water steam. This is because the density of liquid water is much higher than water steam. The density of liquid water is 1000g/liter while the density of steam is 0.8g/liter. In other words, liquid water is over 1200 times denser than water vapor!
How do heating and cooling cause physical changes in matter?
Heating and cooling change the state of the matter. For example, at room temperature water is a liquid but if you heated it becomes steam; a gas. If you freeze it it becomes ice; a solid. Hope it helps xx
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
100 degree Celsius
Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL

As water is heated it expands and becomes?
Liquid becomes gas at higher temperature (above boiling point) Gas stays gas, there is no higher state of 'matter'.
What Happens to particles when steam condenses?
Actually when steam condenses it is loosing heat. As steam rises it cools and falls back down with gravity. I.E. a steam boiler heat system Boils water to till it turns into a gaseous mixture of water droplets and rises to a radiator to heat. As the radiator absorbs the heat from the steam It condenses and returns to the boiler through the same riser pipe to the boiler.
Is water vapor less dense then water?
There are three states of matter solid, liquid and gas. What determines what state matter is in is how closely the matter's particles are to each other. When water particles are close together, making it dense, it's a solid (ice), when the particles space out a bit, becoming less dense, it becomes a liquid. When the particles space out even more from each other water becomes a gas.
What state of matter does water change to above 100 C?
when the water is heated at 100 c it becomes steam. because the boiling point of water is 100 c.

What does liquid water become when it absorbs enough heat?
It becomes steam SIMPLE
When steam becomes cold it turns into?
As steam cools it reverts back to fluid-- water.
