Question

Condensation is the phenomenon of

• A. Converting gaseous molecule from gaseous state to liquid state.
• B. Converting gaseous molecule from gaseous state to solid state.
• C. Inter conversion of solid molecule to liquid molecule.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The phenomenon by which gaseous molecules convert from gaseous state to liquid state is called condensation. It is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. Condensation is responsible for the formation of clouds. That’s why it is crucial to the water cycle. These clouds produce precipitation which is the primary route for water to return to the Earth’s surface through rain. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.
