Steam is water in a gaseous state. Water is a compound (H2O).
No, boiling water to make steam is a physical change, as it can be reversed by cooling the steam back into water. The water molecules remain the same substance throughout the process.
Signs that water is boiling include bubbles rising to the surface rapidly, steam coming off the surface of the water, and the water appearing to be in a constant motion.
Hydrogen ions and hydronium ions
No, steam is not superheated water. Steam is the gaseous form of water that is created when water is heated to its boiling point and vaporizes. Superheated water is water that has been heated beyond its boiling point and exists in a state where it is hotter than its boiling point.
Steam doesn't cool off liquids because it is the release of thermal energy from the water, and that is why, it is therefore hot. If the steam is coming off the liquid itself, it is heat being released by the liquid, but the liquid is not necessarily getting cooler. Think of water boiling on a stove. There may be plenty of steam coming off the water, but the water continues to boil. Subjecting a cool liquid to steam will certainly not cool the liquid.

That would be, "Water vapor" or "Steam", but not the "steam" that you see coming from a pan of boiling water - that is not steam, but rather, tiny droplets of liquid water.
because steam is boiling water is hot it turns into a gas therefore you get steam

Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
Steam is the gaseous form of water above its boiling point. When you see 'steam', that is not really steam, it's warm-water droplets in the air.
When they say boiling water they mean some water is turning to steam but not all off the water has to be over 100 degrees for some to be boiling.
Because steam is hotter than boiling water.
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
Yes, for example, If you are boiling water, the steam that is coming out of the container is the liquid that formed into a gas.
