Water Vapour cannot immediately become solid, first it has to condense into a liquid as it drops below a temperature of 100 degrees centigrade, once it has dropped below a temperature of 0 degrees centigrade it then undergoes a process called freezing which is it condensing into a solid state. It is also the only known compound which is less dense in it's Solid State than in it's Liquid State

What is it called when water vapour becomes liquid?

Water vapour changes back into its liquid form during the process known asCondensation.


What the difference between soids liquids and gases?

A block of frozen water is a solid. Melt the ice and it becomes water. Boil the water and it becomes vapour (steam/gas).


How do you change liquid into water vapor?

By changing the temperature.When you heat up or boil water, it becomes a gas (water vapour).When you freeze water, it becomes a solid (ice).When water is the "ideal" temperature, it is a liquid.In the water cycle, when liquid water turns into a gas (vapour), it is called evaporation.When evaporated water vapour cools down, it falls back down as liquid water again (condensation). This is how we get rain.


What is liquid solid or gas?

Liquid = water, solid = frozen water, gas = water vapour.


Is water vapor in the solid form?

No, water vapour is not in the solid form. Water vapour is the gas form of water and is represented chemically as H2O(g) where the (g) stands for gas.


What do you call theprocess in which water vapour becomes water?

Condensing


What happens to water it evaporates?

it becomes water vapour in the air


Is frost solid?

Frost is water vapour, or water in gas form that when freezes, becomes a solid. Frost forms when the outside temperature cools past the dew point. The dew point is the point where the dew gets so cold, the water vapour in the atmosphere turns into liquid and if cold enough the liquid freezes


What happens to the water vapour in the air when the air temperature cools?

It becomes liquid (water/rain) or solid (snow/hail/sleet) and falls to the ground. Hope this helps :)


What is the process called when water changes from solid to liquid?

The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.


Is water vapour a solid or liquid or gas?

As the word "vapour" indicates, it is a gas.


What is called when gases convert into solid?

this process is called deposition,that is an exothermic reaction takes place in this process.eg-water vapour->snow
