Heat of vaporization.
When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas energy is absorbed. When a substance changes from a gas to a liquid energy is released.
Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).
Changes of state that require energy: melting (solid to liquid) and vaporization (liquid to gas). Changes of state that release energy: freezing (liquid to solid) and condensation (gas to liquid).
The potential energy of a substance decreases when it changes into a liquid. This is because it's losing the heat energy it had when in gas form to become liquid.

Gas (water vapor in the air) to liquid (on the surface).
gas to a liquid
Kinetic energy increases when a liquid changes to a gas because the molecules in a gas have higher average kinetic energy compared to those in a liquid. When a liquid evaporates and becomes a gas, the molecules gain more energy and move faster, increasing their kinetic energy.
The process from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation, where the liquid absorbs heat energy and changes into a gas. On the other hand, the process from a gas to a liquid is called condensation, where the gas loses heat energy and changes into a liquid. Both processes involve a change in temperature or pressure.
liquid to gas
When a gas changes to a liquid, it goes through the process of Condensation. This is when the gas cools and loses energy. Then the particles are forced to change state, from a gas to a liquid.
True, when a gas changes into a liquid, it releases energy, typically in the form of heat. This process is called condensation.
