The dipole moment of water gives it the electrostatic charge needed to interact with other materials. The oxygen, which is highly reactive, has the greater electronegative charge than the hydrogen, which by comparison has a slight positive charge. Elements which are more electropositive than hydrogen such as lithium, sodium, calcium, potassium and cesium displace hydrogen from water, forming hydroxides. Being a flammable gas, the hydrogen given off is dangerous and the reaction of water with the more electropositive of these elements is violently explosive. Water thus can bond to a wide variety of elements and molecules and change too as a result. As a result of the dipole moment, water has a strong surface tension. Under the right conditions of temperature, this dipole moment will allow water to form a solid. But this solid state comes in a variety of forms due to quantum phase state changes from slush to hard ice. Ice can exist in a form where the alignment of water molecules will allow the solid state to float on the liquid state. This is the familiar form of ice we see in ice cubes and ice burgs. Under extreme pressure, a hot ice can form that will not float. This type of ice exists only where pressure is extreme enough to solidify it even at high heat. It is thought that on water worlds where there is no land surface above the water that are Earth mass or more, hot ice exists at the bottom where water rests on rock or metal. This ice forms under pressure and has a different structure than the ice we are familiar with. Experiments on Earth that involve water at extreme pressure demonstrate that this hot ice can exist. If we heat this ice considerably and suddenly release the pressure, a huge explosion will result.
On Earth, a combination of factors keeps most of the water in a liquid state. It thus is able under mainly solar influence to be involved in the hydrologic cycle to move through the gaseous, liquid and solid states.

∙ 12y agoGenerally speaking the solid state of water is called ICE.
Other forms are snow, hail and hoar frost, but these are only meteorological terms for the same: solid water.

What kind of change is involved when you change solid water into liquid water?
Changing a substance from solid into a liquid is called a change of state or a change of phase. Melting is the name given to the change of state from a solid to a liquid.
The process of excess water vapor changing into liquid water when warm air cools?
Condensationis the change of the physical state of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of evaporation. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, the change is called deposition - the opposite of sublimation.
During which phase change requires water is the most energy released into the environment?
Going from gas phase directly to solid state will conserve maximum energy. Just the opposite of the statement above will be true for maximum energy release. Changing from solid to directly into gas is called sublimation.
Can water in the solid and gas phase exist without liquid water being present?
Disregard the person before me, they seem to enjoy foolish jokes... As a matter of fact, water can travel between the solid and gas phases without having gone through the water phase. The process is called sublimation, and relies on a certain temperature and pressure combination in the atmosphere or within the container in which it's held.
What describes the phase change that occurs when dry ice is placed in an open container at room temperature?
the phase change is from solid into gas,and this phase change is called sublimation.
The solid phase of water is called?
ice
The phase change of water to ice is called?
The phase change of water (liquid) to ice (solid) is called solidification.
What phase happens when water turns into ice?
It is from the liquid phase to the solid phase. It is called freezing.
Which of the following is an example of a phase change from liquid to solid?
Frost is a phase change of a gas to a solid (deposition). Water vapor turns directly to ice.
What reaction in water -64 degrees?
At -64 0C water is in a solid phase (called ice).
What is solid to gas called for a phase change?
Solid to Gas phase change is called Sublimation
Why are the three phase of water?
Solid, liquid and gas- also called ice, water and water vapor (or steam)
What is it called when water converts from a solid to a gas?
When water changes from a gas (water vapor) to a solid (ice) it is called deposition. That is how snowflakes form in a cloud.It is the opposite of sublimation.
What phase is water in if it is found as a glacier?
the phase would be solid.
Liquid to solid what is the phase?
Liquid to solid is a phase change.
What is the phase change from a solid to a liquid?
The phase change from a solid to a liquid is called "melting."
What is the liquid phase?
There are three states of matter. they are solid , liquid and gas. A substance is said to be in a phase when it exhibits that state of matter. Ice is water in the solid phase. Water is ice in the liquid phase. Water vapour/steam is water and or ice in the gaseous phase.
