The particles in liquid water are in some degree of motion. When heated to vapor, the particles move far apart from each other, in any direction. When cooled to ice, the particles move close together and vibrate around a fixed point

What is the three forms of water?

Solid (Ice), Liquid (Water), and Gas (Water Vapor). Transforming into these is a physical change. Water transforms into ice by being cooled & into water vapor by being heated and evaporating. Ice transform back into water when warmed. It must go through changing into water before becoming a gas. Vapor can transform into water by being cooled. It must become water before transforming into ice.


Why is water condensing a physical change?

Condensation is a physical change because it does not involve any change in the chemical makeup of the substance. Water vapor, which is a gas, changes to liquid water without altering its chemical composition.


What causes ice to change into water vapor?

Ice changes directly into water vapor through a process called sublimation. This occurs when the ice absorbs enough heat energy from the surroundings to break the molecular bonds holding the ice together, allowing it to transform into water vapor without passing through the liquid phase.


Can you change liquid water to water vapor by frezzing the water?

That's actually backwards. Freezing liquid water changes it to ice. Boiling it will turn it into water vapor


How does ice to water to water vapor?

Heat causes the ice to melt into water and the water evaporates into vapor.


Is vapor a chemical change?

no as it can be turned back to water or be freeze to ice by over cooling.


How is water ice and water vapor alike?

the speed of the water vapor molecules can be decreased to produce ice


Is the amount of water the same after the solid ice change phase to its initial form as an ice water?

A phase change does NOT chance the total number of molecules. There will be some evaporation and sublimation too. During the time that ice melts there will some molecules that sublimate to water vapor and also some water molecules evaporate to vapor. But the total mass and number of molecules will not change.


Is water vapor a state of matter?

well water vapor is a gas that is fueling the car with gas I LOVE SCIENCE
