What state of matter are shown by minerals?
Water exists in all three states --- solid, liquid and gas. Water becomes a solid when it is frozen. The water molecules bond together when the temperature is below 0°C. Water is in its liquid state when at room temperature (0°C to 100°C). Water becomes gas when it is heated above 100°C.
