Why does water condense?

Best Answer

In an ice crystal the molecules of water are not tightly packed together. When temperature increases, an increasing number of molecules get loose from the crystals and fly around bumping into other molecules. This increased chaotic movement leads to a smaller average distance between the water molecules and, thus, to a smaller overall volume.

Contract?

Water is a polar molecule. The hydrogen atoms "bend" away from the oxygen atom creating a slight charge. This allows the molecules to stick together. This is why water beads up, why in space water stays together in a glob, why you can overfill a glass, and why hitting a pool after a wicked nasty cannon ball hurts so bad.
