Is Liquid water less dense or more dense?
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
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!
What is thermal expansion feed water regulator operated by?
They work when steam and water occupy a tube that is on a slight incline. As water level drops the steam space inside the tube expands. The expanding tube is connected to a linkage which will open the water valve as more steam occupies the tube than water.
Is the density of steam more or less than the density of water?
Humid air is lighter and less dense than dry air. Steam is water as a gas. Gaseous water is less dense than dry air.
Does liquid matter or solid matter take up more space?
When it comes to water, ice takes up more space as compared to water. Does this apply to all states of matter? If so, to what else does it apply to?
Why steam takes up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
Why does water take up more space as steam then it does as liquid water?
Sort of, as steam water spreads around more so you could say that water takes up more space as steam.

What is the name of water that is a gas?
Steam. Not to be confused with vapor, which is a suspension of liquid water molecules in another gas.
Is steam radiation?
No, steam is matter: water in its gas state.However being quite hot steam is emitting far more electromagnetic radiation (in the infrared band) than liquid water does.
Is there more than three phases of water?
No, there's only ice (solid), water (liquid) and steam (gas).
Why is the steam obtained more than a thousand times larger then the amount of water boiled?
Steam is water, or another liquid, in a gaseous state. As a substance heats and changes stage from liquid to gas, the particles of liquid begin moving more rapidly and spread out, thus expanding to 1,000 times the original amount.
Why does steam cause more severe skin burns than liquid water at its boiling point?
Hot water has a maximum temperature of 100 degrees centigrade. If it goes beyond that it is now steam. Steam burns are more dangerous because they are much hotter than water.

Why burn caused due to steam is more severe than the boiling water at same temperature?
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water
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
What do you call water when it is in the solid liquid or gas state?
The term we use for H2O when it's a liquid is water. The solid form is ice, and in the form of a gas, it's called steam.
