What is the process involved in the change of state of matter in the formation of rain?

Rain formation involves the process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate from the Earth's surface, turning it into water vapor. As the water vapor rises and cools in the atmosphere, it condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. When these droplets or crystals come together and become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as rain.


Which is fastest ice water or water vapor?

Water vapor is faster than ice because the molecules in water vapor have more kinetic energy and move around more rapidly than in ice. Temperature plays a key role in the speed of molecules, with higher temperatures leading to faster movement.


Which of the following is an example of a phase change from liquid to solid?

Frost is a phase change of a gas to a solid (deposition). Water vapor turns directly to ice.


Why is condensation of water vapor is a chemical change?

Condensation of water vapor is a physical change, not a chemical change. It involves the transition of water vapor into liquid water due to a decrease in temperature, without any change in the chemical composition of water molecules.


Which is most dense liquid water water vapor or ice?

The most dense form of water is liquid water. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why ice cubes float in a glass of water. Water vapor is the least dense form of water, as it is a gas and occupies more space compared to liquid water and ice.

How does ice to water to water vapor?

Heat causes the ice to melt into water and the water evaporates into vapor.


What does dry ice change into?

Water vapor


What causes dry ice to change states?

the change from a solid to a gas (without changing into a liquid first) is known as sublimation "Sublimation is an endothermic change (requires energy from its surroundings). As dry ice sublimes, the cold carbon dioxide vapor causes water vapor in the air to condense and form clouds."


When ice change what becomes water or vapor?

condensation


What is the term for the change of water from ice to a vapor?

Sublimation


Can you change liquid water to water vapor by frezzing the water?

That's actually backwards. Freezing liquid water changes it to ice. Boiling it will turn it into water vapor


Is vapor a chemical change?

no as it can be turned back to water or be freeze to ice by over cooling.


How is water ice and water vapor alike?

the speed of the water vapor molecules can be decreased to produce ice


How does the sun cause clouds to form?

The Sun's energy warms on Earth heated water turns into water vapor air holding the water vapor rises and cools water vapor turns into water droplets and ice crystal's causes clouds to form.


How the sun help cause clouds to form?

The Sun's energy warms on Earth heated water turns into water vapor air holding the water vapor rises and cools water vapor turns into water droplets and ice crystal's causes clouds to form.


Is when ice changes into water vapor it must melt first?

Yes. In the case of ice, it should melt first, convert to liquid water and then change to water vapor. There is big difference in the temperature for the melting point of ice and boiling point of water.


What phase change causes clouds to form?

The phase change that causes clouds to form is condensation. When water vapor in the air cools and condenses on tiny particles like dust or ice crystals, it forms cloud droplets. These droplets then come together to create clouds.
