Water is a liquid, it is a compound of two parts hydrogen and one part
oxygen, a compound which can exit in three different states depending on
the ambient temperture and pressure. Ice is a solid, it is a compound of
two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, a compound that can exist in three
different states depending on the ambient temperture and pressure. Steam
is an invisible vapor, it is a compound of two parts hydrogen and one part
oxygen, a compound that can exist in three different states depending on
the ambient temperture and pressure. One cannot skate or walk on water,
one cannot drink ice, one cannot bathe in steam without getting cooked --
steam baths are misnamed.
Is water the same as ice? Yes and No. By atomic constituency they are
the same, by atomic bonding they are not. Same story with steam.
