EVAPORATION AND CONDENSATION

Suppose you pour a glass of ice water and set it on the kitchen table. After a few minutes, the outside of the glass will be covered with drops of water. Why did this happen?

• Oxygen in the air cooled and condensed onto the cold glass.

• Water vapor in the air cooled and condensed onto the cold glass.

• Water vapor in the air cooled and evaporated onto the cold glass.

• Water seeped through pores in the glass.

When heat is added to a liquid, what occurs?

• Liquid molecules begin to condense to form a solid.

• Liquid molecules are being slowed down to become a gas.

Alex noticed that a metal door that sticks on hot days does not stick when it cools off at night. This is because the metal contracts as it cools. The reason for this is that, as the metal cools, the atoms

• become smaller and take up less space.

• slow down and move closer together.

• merge together to form fewer atoms.

• speed up and move farther apart.

When a gas begins to condense through condensation, what happens to the heat in the particles.
