How does water change from ice to steam?

Answer 1

If you're in steam that cools to water and ice, you'll progressively lose molecular kinetic energy. This loss of energy is tied to your decreasing thermal energy. From the "freedom" to move about in a gas (steam), you'll find yourself being bumped around in a liquid (water) when the steam cools sufficiently to changed phase to condense. More cooling and you'll be locked in a matrix or water molecules, which have changed state from a liquid to become a solid.

Answer 2

Particles in liquid water are free flowing, they move around with litte effort. When water freezes, the water molecules gain mass and they become compact. Unlike before when the water was in liquid form, solid form makes for little room for the molecules to move. The molecules do shift slightly, as do all atoms.

Answer 3

it changes phase by absorbing energy from its surruondings. If you are referring to sublimation, this only occurs at very low pressures. Go put a block of ice on a stove and switch it on...and sure enough the ice will melt and then vapourise....sublimation of water is a little harder to experiment with at home though.

Answer 4

The particles begin to get closer together as the water condenses and then, as the water freezes the particles touch and come closer together to form a neat and ordered arrangement, like this:

Answer 5

When ice is heated, it melts into liquid water at 0°C. As more heat is added, the liquid water evaporates and becomes steam at 100°C. This process involves absorbing heat energy to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules in the solid and liquid phases, and overcome intermolecular forces to transition from liquid to gas.

Answer 6

Temperature, kinetic energy, and compressibility all increase.

Answer 7

the answer said it when seam is cooled and chages to a liqid its water and when it trns into a solid its ice

Answer 8

they get closer together
