A substance condenses when it changes from a gas to a liquid. This is why we call the water you get on the bathroom mirror after taking a shower condensation - because its actually water vapour from the hot water that has then cooled down on the cool mirror.

∙ 13y agoI don't think you can condense a liquid, you can evaporate a liquid eg water which turnns into water vapour then when the water vapour gets colder it cools and condenses

What happens to energy when steam condenses to water?
dissipates
What happens to the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance during process condensation?
The average kinetic energy of the particles falls.
What happens to molecular energy when a substance changes states?
The molecular energy will usually increase or decrease, depending on the exact situation.
What happens when steam condenses onto your hand?
It will make your hand wet
How is the mass of a gaseous substance affected after it condenses?
The mass remain unchanged, only the density is variable.
What happens when a substance changes from a gas to liquid?
It "condenses".
What happens to a substance changing from liquid to a gas?
It "condenses".
When a substance in the gas phase loses enough energy it condenses?
Yes. It gets cold and condenses.
What happens when to particles of a substance when it condenses?
Particle Movement decreases.
What happens to energy when steam condenses to water?
dissipates
What happens to the thermal energy of a gas when it condenses and forms a a liquid?
The energy is released into the air.
What happens to water when heat energy is reduced?
It condenses forming water.
What happens to water vapor when heat energy is reduced?
It condenses forming water.
How does thermal energy of water vapor change as the vapor condenses?
The thermal energy decreases as the vapor condenses.
What will happen to the atoms or molecules of a substance when it condenses?
When a substance condenses, it turns from a vapor (gas) into a liquid. When this occurs, the atoms/molecules lose some kinetic energy, and don't move as fast. They also become packed closer together, and take up less volume.
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
