Pretty much any small covalent molecule can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas, so there's not really much of a "why" involved. If it couldn't exist in all three phases, why NOT would be a MUCH more interesting question.

∙ 14y agobecause moleculec bounce around more when it's warmer therefore they expand. and if you stretch them enough - they change from solid to water and from water to gas.

Can water only exist as a liquid?
no, it can be ice and snow and it can be evaporated
Is a kite a solid liquid or a gas?
a kite is a solid. by the way this answer is kind of funny considering you should know this by know. Here are some examples of solids, liquids, and gases. 1. liquid: water, 2. solid: kite, 3. gas: the air you breath.
Is hot cocoa a solid liquid or gas?
solid it is actually a liquid and a solid. I do not know the precise name.
How do you know a solid is a solid?
if rubber was a liquid it would be like water, if it was a gas it would be like steam, if it was a plasma you wouldn't be able to get anywhere near it without dieing therefore it must be a solid :-)
Why does a ice cube melt faster in water?
Well,the first thing you need to know about your question is the water. Compared to solids and liquids there are more particles in a solid than a liquid. So, if you were to put the ice cube which is a solid, into a glass of (liquid) water, then the water particles squeeze the ice cube together creating what is called a sub particle infusion.
How do you know when solid and a liquid form a liquid?
When the solid was frozen. e.g Water + ice = water.
Can water only exist as a liquid?
no, it can be ice and snow and it can be evaporated
What planet has water on the surface in solid liquid and gaseous forms?
I dont know
How does fire impact on water?
water is a liquid and fire is a smoke/solid water stops it i really dont know how to answer that
Is mud a liquid or solid?
Mud is a solid not a liquid if you wanted to know :]
Do scientists believe that liquid water us essential to life?
Yes, as far as we know.
How does a liquid-solid solution form?
As a general rule, chemical reactions can be identified by a number of signs, including precipitation (solids floating in the liquid), effervenscance (bubbling and fizzing), heat being given off or a colour change.
What is the word for the change from a liquid to a solid?
crystalizations
Is a kite a solid liquid or a gas?
a kite is a solid. by the way this answer is kind of funny considering you should know this by know. Here are some examples of solids, liquids, and gases. 1. liquid: water, 2. solid: kite, 3. gas: the air you breath.
Is there liquid anything on Mars?
Not that we know of. The "air" pressure on Mars is so low that water cannot exist in the liquid state; it will be either a gas or a solid. We know that there is some water on Mars; at night, the water vapor condenses as frost onto solid surfaces, such as rocks or spacecraft.
What makes water in to solid and solid into liquid?
well it depends on the temperature because as u know water is originally a liquid but when the temperature hits 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. And the solid becomes a liquid when its above the freezing point with is 31 degrees Fahrenheit or more above.
Why do scientists think that Europa might have the conditions for life to develop?
As far was we know the development requires water in its liquid for to be present and a source of energy to supply/drive chemical reactions. We know that deep down Europa has a liquid layer (of water) and the geysers of this water into space proves that there is energy in Europa's core.
