What does water ice and water vapor have in common?
Compared to ice, how do molecules of water behave? What do water vapor, liquid water, and ice have in common? They have the same chemical properties. What’s the easiest way to add energy to matter?
Are water molecules all the same?
The molecules of one type are all the same. For example, water molecules are all the same. They all have two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The atoms must be joined this way to make a water molecule.
Does water vapor have molecules?
Water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice….Water vapor.

What is the difference between a molecule of water and the substance water?
Water is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds. Water is also a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element (oxygen and hydrogen).
How is water Vapour different from water in arrangement of molecules?
Well, H₂O(l) is a liquid in which molecules are loosely packed in contrast to solids. On the other hand, H₂O(g) or water vapour is in gasesous state in which the molecule force of attraction is least, viz. very loose.
How might you differentiate between water ice and steam?
Answer: ice is a solid, Water is a liquid and steam is a gas.
How can water particles in ice be made to move freely?
In ice the particles are packed and stay in position. In liquid water the particles are still very close together but they can move around. We should give the particles some energy. We must heat the water (give it more energy).
