yes, they are just packed tighter (more dense) in ice than dew ect (see below for more detail)
If the water droplets are different sizes, they contain a different amount of molecules. One water molecule always contains 3 atoms (One oxygen, and two hydrogen). Ice (solid water) is simply water molecules bonded differently, and dew (liquid water) is free water that is held together through electromagnetism (Van Der Walls forces). Steam (gaseous water) is made of water molecules that have no attraction to eachother. The spaces between the atoms and molecules in each case differs greatly.

∙ 8y agoEach substance is made up of exactly the same elemental atoms tied together. If they are not made up of the same number of atoms, then they are a different substance. For example water is made up of the molecule H2O . . . 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen for a total of 3 atoms; however, there is also a substance called Deuterium or 'heavy' water that is made of 2 double-heavy atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen, but it still contains the same number of atoms: 3.

Question from Dr. J.: How do you get an atom of ice or water? Wouldn't it be a molecule and not an atom?
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNot all the molecules of water are identical; many forms exist: H2O, D2O, T2O, HDO, HTO, DTO and others because oxygen has also isotopes.
Note: D is deuterium, T is tritium.

What different forms of H2O?
Liquid water, ice, water vapours.
When an ice cube melts it is still water?
Water vapour, liquid water and frozen water (ice) are ALL water, just in different physical states.
Maximum number of hydrogen bonds in ice?
Because each hydrogen atom can form a hydrogen bond to an oxygen atom in another water molecule and each oxygen atom has two nonbonding electron pairs, each water molecule can form a maximum of four hydrogen bonds to four other water molecules. The result is a tetrahedral cluster of water molecules around the central water molecule. :)
How many water molecules bond together to form an ice crystal?
how many water molecules bond together to form an ice crystal
Things that have matter?
everything that has atom like solid ( can be ice , metal...), liquid ( water, oil...) or gases ( oxygen, vapour)
Is ice an atom?
Ice is the crystalline form of water MOLECULES
What are two ways water and ice are different?
it is different cause water is a liquid and ice is a solid
Why ice have less density as compared with water?
in case of water every oxygen atom is bonded with 4 hydrogens, where as ice forms a cage like structure, in which oxygen atom is linked to 3 hydrogens. This difference in structure makes ice less denser than water, hence icebergs floats on sea water.
What chemical properties do dry ice and water ice have different?
Dry ice is CO2 and water is H2O; all the chemical properties are different.
What is the different between ice and water?
Ice is the solid form of water (H2O) and water vapour. water is the liquid form of water vapour and ice.
How is water and ice different?
well ice is sold and boiling water will go a way
Which order of the diagrams indicated deceasing distance between atom?
ice steam and water
Are steam atoms different from ice atoms?
Steam and Ice are made up of Water Molecules which are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Steam is water turned to gas by having its molecules excited by heat. Ice is water where the molecules have slowed down because of cold temperatures, forming a solid. Hope this helps.
How is ice and boiling water different?
well ice is sold and boiling water will go a way
Is ice to water a new substance?
No. Its called water. Ice is water, water is water, water vapor is water; all are in different states of the same compound.
If water is H2O what is ice?
Water, ice and steam, all are H2O but are different states of water. Water-liquid state Ice- solid state Steam- Gaseous state
Are water and ice the same substance or different substances?
Water and ice are the same chemical substance in different physical phases, liquid and solid respectively.
