Just an historical legacy. Water is dihydrogen monoxide but it is always called water. Steam, water vapour are just common words that have been adopted into science. Technically, gasses cannot be seen. So if you can see the steam or vapour then it is not a gas but has already started to condense.
The phenomenon is called evaporation.
Kettle steam is not a gas; it is actually water vapor. Water vapor is the gaseous phase of water when it reaches a temperature at which it evaporates.
Solid, liquid and gas- also called ice, water and water vapor (or steam)
SteamWhen you boil water, steam comes out. Steam is just water in the gas (or vapor) phase. Normally, wateFr can exist in three phUases, or states: Cgas, liquid, and soliKd. Water in the gas phase is commonly called steam [or in the atmosphere, water vapor], and water in the solid phase is commonly called ice.
When water turns into a gas and goes into the air, it is called water vapor. This process is known as evaporation.
The process of water turning into gas (water vapor) is called evaporation.Heating water into water vapor is called boiling. High-temperature water vapor is called steam.The water has become water vapor.
The gas form of water is called steam or water vapor.
Water in it's gaseous form is referred to as steam. steam
Water in the form of a gas is called steam.
The water that has been heated to a gas is called water vapor or steam. This occurs when water reaches its boiling point and changes from a liquid to a gas state.
Steam. Not to be confused with vapor, which is a suspension of liquid water molecules in another gas.
The gas state of H2O is called water vapour. However, it is not steam, as steam is a collection of small condensed water droplets.
steam/vapor
The phenomenon is called evaporation.
Water heated to a gas is eiher called water vapor or steam.
It is called steam or water vapor.
Water in it's gas state is commonly called "steam".
