The gaseous state of water is invisible and is called water vapor.

However, steam is not a gas: it is tiny droplets of liquid water. If you look at a tea kettle that is boiling, you will see a jet of steam coming from the spout. If you look closer at the spout, you will see that the first inch or two of the jet coming out is invisible. This is the water vapor, which then cools slightly as it reaches the ambient air and condenses into the very fine (and very hot) liquid water droplets of steam.

yes. Snow and Ice = water (H2O) in solid form. Steam = water (H2O) in gaseous form.


H2o is the formula for what compound?

H2O is the chemical formula for water, which is a common compound found on Earth in liquid, solid, and gaseous forms.


Why h2O Is liquid and H2O is gas?

H2O in its liquid state is a result of the molecules being closer together and having enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces to flow freely. H2O in its gaseous state has molecules with higher kinetic energy, allowing them to break free from these forces and move more independently, resulting in a gas.


What is the chemical formula of steam?

Oh, dude, you're asking me about steam? Like, seriously? Steam is just water vapor, so its chemical formula is H2O. You know, two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom hanging out together, doing their steamy thing.
