उत्तर
- The intensity of burns in steam is more than that in boiling water because the particles present in steam have more energy than the particles present in water.
- This extra energy is in the form of latent heat due to which they generate more heat. As a result, more burns are felt on the skin due to steam.

The state B can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state C has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state D is a mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state E is named after an Indian scientist and a famous physicist.
