A substance condenses when it changes from a gas to a liquid. This is why we call the water you get on the bathroom mirror after taking a shower condensation - because its actually water vapour from the hot water that has then cooled down on the cool mirror.

How is energy transferred when there is a change of state?

When there is a change of state, energy is transferred in the form of either heat or work. For example, when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, energy is absorbed to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together. Conversely, when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid, energy is released as the substance condenses.

Does condensation require energy?

Yes, condensation requires energy to change the phase of a substance from gas to liquid. This energy is released when water vapor cools and condenses into liquid water droplets.


What will happen to the atoms or molecules of a substance when it condenses?

When a substance condenses, it turns from a vapor (gas) into a liquid. When this occurs, the atoms/molecules lose some kinetic energy, and don't move as fast. They also become packed closer together, and take up less volume.


How does thermal energy of water vapor change as the vapor condenses?
