Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What change of state occurs during the process of condensation?
A
gas changes to liquid
B
liquid changes to gas
C
gas changes to solid
D
solid changes to liquid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Condensation is the process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid. When gas molecules transfer their energy to something cooler, they slow down and their attractions cause them to bond to become a liquid. Making water vapor colder increases the rate of condensation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation is the change of state from a gas to a liquid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Condensation is defined as the removal of heat from a system in such a manner that vapour (gas) is converted into liquid. It is a phase change process, hence latent heat transfer takes place and the temperature of the system remains constant during this process.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a gas turns into a liquid, the process is called condensation. The reverse process, when a liquid turns into a gas, is called evaporation or boiling. When solids turn into a liquid, it is usually called melting.
