Question

What do we call the solid form of water?

Answer 1

Solid form of Water:

• Water exists in all three forms of matter i.e. solid, liquid, and gas.
• The solid form of water is ice.
• Ice is less dense than water as when water freezes, its molecules move farther apart.
• The intermolecular forces in a solid are stronger than that of liquids.
• At low temperatures $(\mathrm{below}0°\mathrm{C})$, it is solid. At “normal” temperatures $(\mathrm{between}0°\mathrm{C}\mathrm{and}100°\mathrm{C})$, water exists as a liquid.
• At high temperatures, water is a gas (steam).
