What takes place when water vapor changes to a liquid?

condensation. When the water vapour is cooled or comes into contact with a cold objects it condenses back into a liquid


Is vaporization the change of a liquid to a gas?

Yes, for example, If you are boiling water, the steam that is coming out of the container is the liquid that formed into a gas.


What can change water vapor into a liquid?

Water vapor can be changed into liquid water through the process of condensation. This occurs when water vapor cools down and turns back into liquid form due to lowering temperatures in the atmosphere or coming into contact with a cooler surface.


What substance is Steam coming from a pan of boiling water?

The substance is water vapor, not steam, which is the gaseous state of water when it is heated to its boiling point. Steam is produced when this water vapor comes into contact with cooler air and condenses back into liquid water droplets.


What physical change happens when a mirror fogs?

When a mirror fogs up, it is due to water vapor in the air condensing on the cooler surface of the mirror. The water vapor forms tiny droplets that scatter light, causing the mirror to appear cloudy or hazy.
