  • Condensation: Understanding the Gas-to-Liquid Phase Change
    The change of state from a gas to a liquid is called condensation.

    Here's how it works:

    * Gas molecules are far apart and move freely.

    * Cooling the gas causes the molecules to slow down.

    * Slower molecules collide less frequently and lose energy.

    * As energy decreases, the molecules move closer together and attract each other.

    * When the attraction is strong enough, the molecules bond to form a liquid.

    Examples of condensation:

    * Dew forming on grass: Water vapor in the air cools down and condenses into liquid water droplets.

    * Fog: Water vapor in the air cools down and condenses into tiny water droplets that are suspended in the air.

    * Rain: Water vapor in the clouds condenses into larger droplets of water that fall to the ground.
