Yes. It is a form of condensation that, in the atmosphere, results in some form of precipitation. The dust particles are called "nuclei".
When water vapor changes to liquid water, it condenses. This process releases latent heat energy into the surroundings.
Water vapor changes to liquid by a process called condensation. When water vapor loses heat energy, it condenses into liquid water. This commonly occurs when the surrounding air cools, reaching its dew point temperature.
The byproduct of condensation is water vapor. When water vapor cools and condenses, it turns back into liquid water.
Condensation and precipitation occur when water vapor in the air cools and condenses into liquid water droplets. This requires saturated air, which means the air is holding as much water vapor as it can at a given temperature. Additionally, tiny particles called condensation nuclei are needed to provide surfaces for the water vapor to condense onto. Finally, a trigger such as cooling of the air or uplift of the air mass is needed to initiate the condensation process.
Condensation reactions are so called because they involve the formation of a covalent bond between two molecules, resulting in the release of a small molecule such as water. This process "condenses" the two molecules together by removing a molecule of water.
Particles onto which water droplets form are called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). These particles can include dust, sea salt, and pollution. When water vapor condenses onto these particles, it forms cloud droplets.
Small particles in the air around which water vapor condenses are called condensation nuclei. These particles can include dust, pollution, salt crystals, or other tiny particles that provide surfaces for water vapor to collect and form into droplets. Without condensation nuclei, it would be more difficult for water vapor to condense into clouds, fog, or precipitation.
Condensation Nuclei
When water vapor changes to liquid water, it condenses. This process releases latent heat energy into the surroundings.
Cloud formation on particles of dust is caused by a process called condensation. Water vapor in the air condenses on these particles, forming tiny water droplets that eventually accumulate to become visible as clouds. The particles provide a surface for the water vapor to gather and grow into larger droplets.
Water vapour condenses to liquid water. The process is condensation.
condensation (the water vapor condenses onto the small dust particles in the air creating clouds)
heat of condensation
False. this is called humidity. Condensation is when water vapor condenses into liquid water.
Water vapor collects around tiny particles, called condensation nuclei, such as dust or salt, in the atmosphere. As more water vapor condenses onto these particles, they grow in size and eventually form clouds.
When water in the air condenses onto tiny particles, it forms droplets. This process is called condensation and is the basis for cloud formation. The water droplets eventually become large enough to fall as precipitation, such as rain or snow.
A condensation nucleus is something that is found in a cloud droplet. Condensation nuclei are tiny solid particles such as dust, smoke, or even bacteria onto which water condenses, allowing clouds to form.
