1/19

What are the three states of water?

1/19

The three states of water are solid (ice), liquid (water), and gaseous (water vapour).

What is melting?

2/19

Melting is the process of converting a solid into a liquid by adding heat.

3/19

Freezing is the process of converting a liquid into a solid by removing heat.

4/19

What is evaporation?

4/19

Evaporation is the process of converting a liquid into its gaseous state (water vapour).

5/19

What is condensation?

5/19

Condensation is the process where water vapour cools and turns into liquid water droplets.

6/19

What is the water cycle?

6/19

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

7/19

How does ice behave compared to water?

7/19

Ice retains its shape and does not flow, whereas water takes the shape of its container and flows.

8/19

Is water vapour visible?

8/19

Water vapour is usually invisible, but water droplets in steam make it visible.

9/19

Can you give an example of evaporation?

9/19

Examples include drying wet clothes or water disappearing from puddles.

10/19

What causes the cooling effect in earthen pots?

10/19

Water evaporates through the pot's surface, which cools the water inside.

11/19

What factors affect evaporation rate?

11/19

Temperature, surface area, and air movement affect how fast water evaporates.

12/19

What happens to an ice cube left at room temperature?

12/19

The ice cube melts and turns into liquid water.

13/19

How do solid and liquid states differ in shape?

13/19

A solid retains its shape, while a liquid assumes the shape of its container.

14/19

Why do droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass tumbler?

14/19

Droplets form due to condensation of water vapour in contact with the cold surface.

15/19

Does water seep through a steel plate?

15/19

No, water does not seep through steel; it evaporates into water vapour.

16/19

Where does water go when puddles disappear?

16/19

Water evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapour.

17/19

What happens when heat is supplied to ice?

17/19

Ice melts into water when heat is added.

18/19

What happens when heat is removed from water?

18/19

Water freezes into ice when heat is removed.

19/19

What happens to the weight of water on a balance with condensation?

19/19

The weight remains the same despite condensation on the glass surface.
