When a gas turns into a liquid the process is called:
When a gas turns into a liquid the process is called:
(A) Condensation
(B) Evaporation
(C) Deposition
(D) Transient
Condensation is the process by which a gas changes to a liquid. When a gas is cooled, its particles move slower and pack together, forming a liquid. This is seen in nature when water forms on a cold glass, or clouds form in the sky and dew spots appear on the ground in the morning.
Evaporation: This is the reverse process, where a liquid turns into a gas.
Deposition: This is the direct transition of a gas into a solid, skipping the liquid phase entirely (e.g., frost forming).
Transient: This is not a state of matter transition. It generally refers to something that is temporary or lasting for only a short time in various scientific contexts.
