Detailed explanation-1: -What are the three states of water? Water can exist in 3 different physical states – solid, liquid, and gaseous. In the solid state, water exists in the form of ice or snow. In the gaseous state, water exists as water vapour or steam.
Detailed explanation-2: -The States of Water: solid, liquid, gas. Water is known to exist in three different states; as a solid, liquid or gas. Clouds, snow, and rain are all made of up of some form of water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen bonds are again the key. The number of bonds between molecules determines whether water will be a solid, liquid, or gas. In the solid state, water molecules have the maximum number of hydrogen bonds (4 per molecule), giving water the rigid characteristic of ice.
