Answer Ice, water and steamare the three states of the same substance because they consist ofsame constituent elements (i.e., hydrogen and oxygen), samemolecules and same chemical properties.

Freezing of water changes it's state from liquid to solid, i.e, ice. Melting of ice changes it's state of matter from solid to liquid, i.e, water. And when we
boil this water, it's state of matter changes from liquid to gas, i.e, steam. And when we condense this steam, it forms water.
Therefore,we conclude that, ice - water - steam are the three different states of a substance and not different substances.All these change of states are due to different temperatures applied.
ice  on heating  ---> (melts to) water on further heating  ----> (by evaporation) gas
Gas by condensation  ---->water on freezing  ----> ice.

ice water is solid while steam is liquid and this both are very different states as gas and liquid are two different state but there volume is same hence the state is different but substance is different
