Water is a chemical compound, It's 'water' in all states. Only lit. vernacular hints that it might refer to only the liquid form by calling solid water 'ice' and vaporised water 'steam' and not often calling either 'water'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water This same 'learn English by experience' is why most people think steam is opaque white, but that's actually condensation and not steam at all.
