Respuesta :
High density in solid phase, medium density in liquid phase, and low density in gas phase
The density of water is least in gaseous form, higher in liquid form and highest in solid form.
What are the three states of water?
The three states of water are steam, liquid water and ice. In all three states, the packing of molecules is different. The molecules of ice are very closely packed with each other. Liquid water turns to ice when it is frozen at 0 degrees Celcius. In this state of water, the density is the highest due to the close packing of the materials.
The molecules of water are closely packed with each other but not as close as the molecules of ice. The liquid is able to take the shape of any container and the liquid state of water is maintained at room temperature. The density of water in this state is lower than the density of ice.
The molecules in steam are very loosely packed. The liquid water turns to steam when it is boiled at 100 degrees Celcius. The forces of attraction between water molecules are broken at this temperature and the water molecules turn to steam. Thus the density of water at this temperature is the lowest.
Therefore, the density of ice is the highest, the density of liquid water is lower than ice and the density of steam is the lowest.
