However, they are in different physical states:
* Water is in its liquid state.
* Steam is in its gaseous state.
The difference lies in the arrangement and movement of the water molecules:
* In liquid water, the molecules are close together and can move around each other.
* In steam, the molecules are far apart and move freely.
So, while steam and water have the same chemical composition, the physical state affects their properties and how they behave.
