CONDENSATION???
A phase change, from liquid to gas.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
A beaker of water heated over a laboratory burner is an example of convection. The molecules at the bottom of the beaker begin to rise to the top and the cooler particles sink. This allows for the transfer of heat.
The process of heat changing water to steam is a physical change. During this transformation, water molecules gain energy and move from a liquid state to a gaseous state, but their chemical composition remains the same (H₂O). In a physical change, the substance alters its form or state without changing its chemical identity.
An example of cooling matter changing its state is when water vapor condenses into liquid water at lower temperatures, such as when steam from a kettle turns back into water droplets on a cold surface.
Water boiling to become steam is an example of a liquid to gas phase change.
Water boiling to become steam is an example of a liquid to gas phase change.
Steam changing to liquid water is an example of condensation, which is the process of a gas turning into a liquid. This occurs when the temperature of the gas decreases to the point where it can no longer maintain its gaseous state and transforms into a liquid.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
The change of water to steam is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this case, the water molecules are simply changing phase from a liquid to a gas, but the chemical composition of water remains the same.
An example of a change of state is an ice cube melting and becoming liquid water, or liquid water boiling to become steam.

Boiling (or freezing) water (the change to steam or ice).
A good example of a simple Physical Change occurs in a tea pot. The hot, liquid water boils and goes off as steam. Steam is still water (no chemical change,) but is now a gas.

It is a physical change because it's still a form of water just a different state.
