sream is water particles in air, when compressed, the air is squeezed out.
Ice can compress a little - when water freezes, it expands. People have used this to split stone. For example, to get the blocks for ancient Egyptian sculpture they would carve around the part the wanted, add water and let the overnight freeze break out the rest.

What are the similar properties of steam and ice?
Both steam (gas) and ice (solid) are composed of water.
Steam is to water as liquid is to?
steam is to liquid as smoke is to fire
Why is an ice cube not compressible?
An ice cube is not compressible as all the particles of ice are already very close to each other. Compression can be imagined as bringing the particles of a substance closer together. Consider a cylindrical container having a piston over its opening and containing steam inside it. If you push the piston down (like in an injection syringe), the steam gets compressed and the particles come closer and the attraction between the particles will increase and thus the steam will form water. If you try to compress it further, and lower the temperature( which reduces the energy of the particles), it will form ice and the particles cannot come any closer to each other. It is just like us humans, if you are hyperactive and energetic and overly active, you cannot just sit in one place and will randomly move about(like steam particles). If you are normally active, you will move about but to a lesser extent(like water particles). but if you are extremely lazy and have very less energy, you will refuse to move about(like ice particles). there is nothing that comes after this. hope this helps! :)

Ice.
Steam can be compressed while ice can not why?
Ice is a solid and steam is a gas
Is superheated steam compressible?
Not a hydrologist, but I'd lay money on the fact that steam is mostly air, and ice is mostly water.
Is ice a liquid state?
Ice is a solid.It has a definite volume, definite shape, and cannot be compressed, which are properties of solids.
Can you freeze-dry water?
It is my understanding that water cannot be compressed.
What is ordered from the least thermal energy to the most A ice to steam to water B water to ice to steam C ice to water to steam D steam to water to ice?
Ice to water to steam.
Density list of ice and water and steam?
Most dense: Water Medium: Ice Least dense: Steam
What is warmer ice or steam?
Steam is warmer because it's not freezing like ice.
What are the similar properties of steam and ice?

Steam is to water as liquid is to?
steam is to liquid as smoke is to fire
How do you keep your vegetables green while cooking?
Depending on the vegetables, you can steam them or Blanche them. (Where you put vegetables in boiling water, then put them in ice cold water)
How do you turn ice into steam?
Heat it.... The heat will first convert ice into water and will then convert it into steam. You can heat ice in any kettle.....or saucepan.......
What is the similarity between steam and ice?
Ice and wax are different because ice is a melting liquid that turns into water.Wax is different from ice because when it melts it tuns into like a rubbery feeling substance while ice just melts into water.
