  • Understanding Condensation and Evaporation: How Heat Affects Liquids and Gases
    That statement is incorrect.

    Here's why:

    * Heat causes a substance to transition from a liquid to a gas. This is called evaporation or boiling. The added heat energy provides the molecules with enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid's surface and become a gas.

    * Cooling causes a gas to condense into a liquid. This is the reverse process of evaporation. As the gas loses energy, the molecules slow down and come closer together, eventually forming liquid bonds.

    In summary:

    * Heat: Liquid → Gas

    * Cooling: Gas → Liquid
