As room temperature is between 20-30 degree celsius & the physical state of water is liquid at 20-30 degree celsius the state of water at room temperature is liquid.

At room temperature water has a definite volume & occupies the shape of the container & it flows at room temperature.

I hope this helps.

Answer: When water is heated the atoms inside move very fast, making it in gas form. When water is freezed the atoms slow down, making it solid. When it is neither frozen nor heated, the atoms are moving normally, making it a liquid.

Hydrogen bonding.

The same phenomenon is also responsible for things like methanol, ethanol, and acetic acid being liquids at room temperature.

-OH substituent groups (hydroxyl or 'alcohol' groups) can align is such a way that the proton (hydrogen atom minus 2 electrons) on one group is next to the oxygen on another group and vice versa.

Because oxygen atom have electrons in lone pair orbitals and the exterior of a proton is always positive (bonding electrons reside between the proton and the oxygen and are not found near the exterior of the proton), the oxygen atom can form a partial bond to the proton on a neighboring alcohol.

Hydrogen bonding is present in many different forms in nature, and atoms other than oxygen can form hydrogen bonds via electrons in lone pair orbitals.

This weak interaction (far weaker than a true covalent bond) is responsible for many of the miracles of nature, including our oceans, and beer!

Water molecules are polar molecules the hydrogen bonding among the molecules brings them closer to each other so water exists as a liquid at normal temperature. As temperature is increases the hydrogen bonds become broken down and water is converted into vapours. (Gaseous state).

Between 0Oc and 100OC. Water freezes/melts at 0OC and boils/condenses at 100OC [at atmospheric pressure]

hydrogen bonding is a very strong intermolecular attraction from one water molecule to another, until this bond is broken the water stays in liquid form.

Is liquid petroleum gas a gas or a liquid?

Under normal temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions propane is gaseous. However, when the temperature is reduced to below −42.09 °C or when it is stored under high pressure (approx 177 psi), it takes the form of a liquid.

Under normal conditions room temperature and pressure it is a gas.


What is the normal melting point?

It is the temperature at which a substance, under normal atmospheric pressure changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase.

Under normal circumstances, liquid nitrogen is at a temperature of less than -196C - pretty cold!!!

Under normal conditions - the ones we are accustomed to - it is a gas.


What are the metals which exist in all three states of matter?

All of the metals can exist as solids, liquids or gases it just depends on the temperature and pressure. Mercury with its low melting point of -35 0C is a liquid under normal conditions and has a significant vapor pressure at relatively low temperatures.


Is quartz a solid liquid or a gas?

Under normal conditions of temperature and pressure the mineral Quartz is a crystalline solid.


What properties determine if something is a solid liquid or gas?

Fundamentally, the temperature and pressure, depending on the substance. Most substances may exist in any one of those three forms under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. For example, water may exist in all three forms simultaneously (ice, liquid, vapour) under very specific conditions of temperature and pressure which are referred to as the "triple point of water".


The what remains constant when a liquid reaches boiling point?

The temperature. A liquid will increase in temperature until it reaches the boiling point temperature. At this temperature the liquid will become a gas. Under normal circumstances, the liquid cannot get any hotter than the boiling point without becoming a gas. So the liquid remains the same temperature until it has all boiled away.


What effect does temperature have on the solubility of a solid solute in a liquid solvent?

solubility increase as the temperature rises rises thus its directly proportional under normal circumstances


What liquid metal would you find at the monument Stonehenge?

There is only one metal which is naturally in liquid form under normal condtions of temperature and pressure, this is Mercury (Hg). It is not found at Stonehenge.
