When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid
The change of state of water from liquid to vapor, or the reverse from vapor to liquid, involves a fixed amount of thermal energy per unit mass, this is called the specific latent heat. To evaporate liquid water to vapor, heat must be supplied, whilst in condensing vapor to liquid, heat is released. Similar rules apply to water when it changes from liquid to ice, or ice to liquid. You can look up the amount of the latent heat in physical tables.
Condensation gives off energy. Matter is moving from the higher energy vapor state to a lower energy liquid state. This is an exothermic process.
Water has 3 states, solid(ice), liquid(water, and gas(Water vapor). When water is boiled, it gathers heat energy. It then becomes a gas , breaking away from other water particles. it gathers together on a colder surface and loses some of that energy, reverting it back to water.
If enough energy is taken away from water vapour, it will condense to form water (in liquid form). This is because a gaseous state requires more energy than a liquid state (and a liquid state requires more energy than a solid state).
All of the liquid has boiled to a vspor
When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid
Water changes from a liquid to gas when boiled. (boiling point = 110 Celsius)
Its a change in energy primarily. Water vapor loses energy and then becomes liquid. The energy it loses generally is heat. For example, Put water vapor in a sealed container in a freezer, it will change from vapor to liquid, then liquid to solid as it loses energy in the form of heat
Any addition of thermal energy to a saturated liquid will cause it to vaporize. Any subtraction of thermal energy from a saturated vapor will cause it to condense.

Either evaporation or the water was boiled. But, in general explanation, the molecule of water need certain energy to break its inter molecular force to cause it being vaporized. So if the quantity energy needed is fulfilled, the state is changing from liquid to gas.
causes heat energy to flow from the liquid and cool the surroundings.
It becomes a gas/vapor.
It becomes a gas/vapor.
