The molecules move freely and rapidly in all directions.

∙ 14y agoThe water molecules in gaseous state are not at all packed and they are free to roam about.

Are the molecules in ice packed more tightly than the molecules in water?
Compared to a solid object's molecules no. Unless the water is ice. Water molecules are more compact than gaseous molecules.
What form are molecules in water vapor?
Their form remains the same - water is water. However, the molecules are in a gaseous state/phase (rather than liquid or solid state/phase).
What are the states of water How does it describe the arrangement of water molecule?
The 3 states of water are liquid, solid, and gas. The molecules bind closest together in the solid state and furthest apart in the gaseous state.
What is water in a gaseous state called?
Water in a gaseous state is water vapour, or mist. It is commonly known as steam if the water has been heated.
What is water in the gaseous state which is produced by evaporation or transpiration?
Water vapor is what water in the gaseous state is called. In this state, it makes mist or fog, and eventually falls from the air as precipitation.

What are the changes involved in boiling water?
A phasechange is occured in water molecules, from liquid state to gaseous state.
What form are molecules in water vapor?
Their form remains the same - water is water. However, the molecules are in a gaseous state/phase (rather than liquid or solid state/phase).
How water evaporate?
When heat is applied to water, the molecules excite and move faster, and change into a gaseous state.
What will happen to the water molecules when water boils?
It's actually a lot simpler than that. When liquid water boils, some of the water molecules in a liquid state become so energetic that they go into a gaseous state. They remain water molecules, completely unchanged in their internal composition. They just change how they relate to other molecules. The only "gas" that's released during boiling is water vapor. As such, you can reheat the same water a thousand times and you won't get any change in the boiling process (other than loss of the liquid as the water vapor wisps away). The water molecules in a liquid state will become water molecules in a gaseous state, and the process will be the same on the first, second, and thousandth time.
Water in its gaseous state is made up of what?
Water is made of water molecules whatever state it is in. In the gas phase the molecules are far apart and moving rapidly.
Evaporation involves the process of changing water molecules from the liquid state into what of what?
By evaporation liquid water is transformed in gaseous water.
Why water is in liquid state not in gas state?
Other substances with molecules of a similar state are indeed in a gaseous state, at room temperature. It seems that water is liquid, at room temperature, because of its large electric dipole, which causes molecules to attract each other more than is usual for molecules of that size.Other substances with molecules of a similar state are indeed in a gaseous state, at room temperature.

What is evaporation do when its outside?
Evaporation- The process which molecules at the surface of a liquid, such as water, absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state, such as water vapor.
When water molecules disappear into air what is it called?
It is called evaporation. The water becomes a vapor (gaseous state) and is "dissolved" or "mixed" into the air.
Why does steam at 100C damage the skin than water at 100C?
I think it's the other way - 100°C liquid water causes more damage than 100°C gaseous water. Liquid water has molecules that are much more densely packed than gaseous water. Since temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy, the molecules in liquid form move just as fast as the molecules in gaseous form. So if you stick your finger in liquid water, much more molecules will hit you. Unless that extra enthalpy of vaporization causes a difference in speeds of the molecules, then that extra energy required to vaporize water will be transferred to you, and you will feel more pain.
What happens to steam when it cools?
This change of state is called condensation.
