How are liquid water and water vapor the same?

Liquid water and water vapor are both composed of H2O molecules. They can transition from one state to another through processes like evaporation and condensation. Both forms of water play crucial roles in the water cycle and are essential for life on Earth.


Are the particles in a liquid all the same?

If you mean the smallest particle of water that has the properties of water, then yes, water particles are molecules.


Which of these remains the same while water molecules go through the water cycle?

The chemical composition of water remains the same as it goes through the water cycle. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules simply change states between liquid, gas (vapor), and solid (ice) during the water cycle, but the chemical structure of the water molecule remains constant.


Cohesion describes the attraction between a water molecule and another type of polar molecule?

Cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance, like water molecules sticking to each other. Adhesion, on the other hand, is the attraction between molecules of different substances, such as water molecules sticking to a polar molecule like glass.


Is a water molecule in the gas phase smaller than a water molecule in the solid phase?

No, the size of a water molecule remains the same regardless of the phase it is in. The differences in density and spacing between molecules in the different phases make it appear differently but the size of the molecule itself remains constant.

What is water that has evaporated in to gas?

Solid, liquid or gas water remain the same molecule - H2O.


Is it possible for the same water molecule to be in a liquid a vapor and an ice crystal form while going through the phases of the water cycle?

no


Can water be in all three phases at the same time?

Yes, it is possible to have steam, liquid water, and ice exist in the same space, but not a molecule of water can only be in one of the three phases.


H2O is water but H2 is gas why?

Weather a thing is solid, liquid or gas depends upon the force of the bonds between the molecules, and that depends one temperature and pressure, as well as the particular molecule. In a solid force between molecules is greater as then the forces between molecules of the same material as a liquid, and in a liquid is greater than in a gas. So in the environments most often found on the surface of the earth, hydrogen as a molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms is always a gas, but water, consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, can be solid (ice), liquid (water) or gas (water vapor), depending on the temperature and pressure. when you boil water, you turn the liquid into a gas. When you freeze water, you turn the liquid into a solid.


Can a molecule of an element be same as its atom?

yes because the atoms of two gases, hydrogen and oxygen, can combine together to form water, which is a liquid............

Molecules of a liquid to a molecule of water vapor?

During evaporation, molecules of a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid surface and escape into the gas phase as water vapor. This process involves individual molecules transitioning from the liquid phase to the gas phase without the liquid boiling.

Is liquid oxygen heavier than water?

A thing's heaviness is a measure of gravity's effect on its mass. Molecule for molecule, H2O (water) is heavier than O2 (oxygen); however, you are comparing two different molecules at two different pressures and densities. Oxygen, while lighter than water (molecule for molecule) at normal pressures, is much heavier when compressed to the point of condensation. Liquid oxygen has a weight of 1.141 g/ml, whereas water's weight is 1 g/ml. They are very close to the same weight, but liquid oxygen is almost 15% heavier.


What is true if a liquid and a gas are in equilibrium?
