What is the same between evaporation and condensation?

Condensation is the process of changing gas into liquid when heat is given. Evaporation is the process of changing liquid into gas below boiling point. There aren't many similarities but you can say that both processes need heat.


Is Liquid water turning to ice a endothermic or exothermic process?

The process of freezing is an exothermic process. Particles in a liquid have more energy than those in a solid, hence they vibrate / move more. Therefore, to turn a liquid into a solid, energy needs to be taken out of the liquid. This means energy is given off to its surroundings, making it an exothermic process.


A change of state where energy is given off is called a blank change?

The process in which energy is given off is called an exothermic change. The energy released can be in the form of heat, light, electricity, or sound
