Phases
water molecules are
tightly packed in a
crystal alignment that
prevents them from
changing shape
LOW
ENERGY
STATE
attractive forces btw
molecules weaken and
individual molecules
can move around each
other, but they can not
break away
SLIGHTLY
HIGHER
ENERGY STATE
water molecules move
very rapidly and are
not
bound together
EXTEMELY
HIGH
ENERGY STATE
