Detailed explanation-1: -So, the given statement is false.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water can exist in three states: solid (ice), liquid, and gas (vapor). Even other substances can also exist in 3 different states depending upon the temperatures.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water is unique because the properties of water allow it to exist in all three states of matter! Water is usually a liquid, but when it reaches to 32° Fahrenheit (F), it freezes into ice. (Ice is the solid state of water.)
Detailed explanation-4: -Water is a liquid at room temperature, but becomes a solid (called ice) if it is cooled down. The same water turns into a gas (called water vapor) if it is heated up. The changes only happen when the substance reaches a particular temperature. Water turns to ice at 32ºF (0ºC).
Detailed explanation-5: -Water is essential to life on Earth. In its three phases (solid, liquid, and gas), water ties together the major parts of the Earth’s climate system-air, clouds, the ocean, lakes, vegetation, snowpack, and glaciers .
