Concept Explanation
 

States of Water

States of Water: Water exists in three states, i.e., solid, liquid, and gas. All the three states are reversible or Interchangeable. All the three states of water are also present in our natural environment at any given time.

Solid:  Glaciers, icebergs, snow, hail, frost, and ice crystals in the clouds are solid forms of water.

Liquid: Rain, dew, and clouds are water droplets or liquid forms of water. Liquid water also covers three-quarters of the surface of the Earth in the form of lakes, rivers, and oceans.

Gaseous :  Water vapour, fog, steam, and clouds are gaseous forms of water. Water exists in all the three states because water can change its state very easily in a range of temperatures, i.e., between 0°C (ice) and 100°C (vapour). This change also takes place on its own in our environment forming a cycle which we know as the water cycle.
