Question
during a science experiment, lesha and lsooc observed the process of condensation on a cold glass of water. what did they see happening to water vapor? the water vapor froze on the glass. the water vapor turned into steam above the glass. the water vapor evaporated into the air. the water vapor condensed into droplets on the glass.
Condensation is the process where water vapor (gas) changes into liquid water. When water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold glass, it loses heat energy. As a result, the water vapor molecules slow down and come closer together, forming liquid droplets. Freezing (water vapor turning to ice) is a different phase - change (solidification). Evaporation is the opposite of condensation (liquid to gas). Steam is a form of water vapor (gas) and is not the result of condensation.
