the molecular building is more spaced out than a solid, as instead of being ordered, there are gaps so they are like ... .... where as liquids are only just touching n gasses take up even more space as only when condensed to they touch.

What conditions in the air favor condensation of water?

saturated air and dewpoint temperature much lower than air temperature


Is relatively humidity affected by temperature?

Warmer air is able to hold more water vapour than cooler air. As warm humid air cools, the water vapour condenses out as water droplets.


Do you breathe in or breathe out more water vapour?

You breathe out more water vapour then when you breathe in


When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?

Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.


How is relative humidity affect by air temperature?

Warmer air is able to hold more water vapour than cooler air. As warm humid air cools, the water vapour condenses out as water droplets.


When the ground has enough moisture and the temperature reaches the dew point what happens?

When the temperature comes down to the dew point, the air can support no more water vapour and the dew begins to to form. Air can absorb more water vapour as the temperature rises, so the difference between the dew point and the actual temperature gives a measure of the humidity.


How does water go to the air?

Water turn into a gas called water vapour. The air depending on its temperature will hold a certain amount of this. when the air comes into contact with water if the humidity of the air is such that it can hold more water vapour then the water that is touching the air will turn into the gas water vapour and become part of the air. it will do this at any temperature which explains why you can hang clothes out to drying sub zero temperatures and they dry.


When you put water in a pan what happens?

Water evaporates at any temperature. Some water molecules have enough energy to leave the surface of the liquid. As the temperature increases more and more molecules have enoughenergy to leave the surface of the liquid. At the boiling point all molecules have enough energy to evaporate. Bubbles of vapour form throughout the liquid (we see these bubbles as proof of boiling).


What happens when a liquid gains thermal energy?

The molecules will begin to oscillate, the more energy they gain the more intense the vibration. when the vibration gets too intense, the water molecule detaches from other water molecules and becomes water vapour.


What is occurring when you can see your breath on cold days?

The air that you exhale contains water vapour. When you exhale during a cold day, the relative humidity increases. Relative humidity is actually the percentage of the amount of water vapour in the air.(the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at that temperature) The colder the air, the less water vapour it can carry. When exhaled, air mixes with cold air, the temperature of the exhaled air drops, but there is more water vapour. When the air becomes saturated, (relative humidity is 100%), the extra water vapour will condense, allowing you to see your breathe on cold days.


Which has more energy vapor or solid?

vapour


Why it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water than it does gold?

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than gold, meaning it requires more energy to raise its temperature. This is because water molecules can hold more heat energy due to their intermolecular structure compared to gold. As a result, more energy is needed to increase the kinetic energy of water molecules and raise the temperature of water.
