Water is a shapeshifting element

That bastard can turn into air and ice too

I have a super special secret to tell you

*whispers* every compound and element can do this */whispers*

What about the ones that sublimate?

What about the ones that sublimate?

Every element can sublimate at certain pressures. So if the pressure is right you could still go liquid.

...I did suck at chemistry

See at low pressures water goes from solid to gas with no liquid phase.

Yup, I'm aware
Just that I skipped studying the vapor pressure stuff on the exam

yea... no matter how you pour it, shake it, or whatever
water always take the shape of the container

Unless it's ice

i said water, not ice

 

[x65943]

i said water, not ice

Ice is water

It's solid water

 

[Noctosphere]

Ice is water

It's solid water

actually as i learned at school,
square is a rectangle but rectangle isn't a square
same logic here
ice is water, but water isn't ice

Water is either liquid, solid or gas

By simply saying water you did not specify which state it was in. Therefore water does not always conform to its container. It only does such in the liquid and gas states. When water is solid it does not alter its shape.

And what do we call solid water? Ice.

So my statement is true, and yours flawed. Water does not always conform to its container.

water is always liquid
ice is always solid
steam is always gaz

that's my logic

Your "logic" is wrong

This is why when NASA talks about finding "water" on other planets it is correct - despite the fact they are usually not talking about liquid water.

well if you say so

Water (and to a lesser extent, ethanol) is one of the only naturally occurring liquids that's safe to drink. Unlike other substances, it expands as it freezes. The Celsius temperature scale is also based on the freezing and boiling point of water (at standard pressure of course). Water is one of the only substances whose solid state has less density than its liquid state (that's why ice floats in a glass of water). Water also happens to have a maximum density of 1g/cm3, but this can vary based on temperature and pressure. It's little wonder it's been described as one of the strangest substances on Earth:
