States of Matter (Chemistry)

Summary: Water can exist in three states: as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. These are the states of matter. In each of the three states, the water particles are identical (the same). But the properties of ice, liquid water, and steam are different. These pages explain why. Tags: science student-book-7 chemistry Created: 2026-05-21 Last Updated: 2026-05-21
