In a gaseous state, water molecules are spaced far apart and move around freely. They have high kinetic energy and weak intermolecular forces, leading to their random distribution and lack of definite shape or volume.
The water molecules in gaseous state are not at all packed and they are free to roam about.
Molecules in water vapor are in the gaseous form. They are not tightly packed and are free to move around, unlike in liquid or solid forms.
Steam is a compound. It is actually water in the gaseous state.
Yes, the molecules in ice are packed more tightly than in water because the molecules in ice are fixed in a crystal lattice structure, whereas in water they can move and slide around more freely.
The three states of water are solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). In the solid state, water molecules are closely packed together in a specific arrangement, forming a crystal lattice structure. In the liquid state, water molecules are more loosely arranged and able to move past each other. In the gas state, water molecules are far apart and move freely.
Yes, steam from boiling water is a mixture of water molecules in the gaseous state. It still contains only water molecules, just in a different phase.
