Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that condensation is a phase change process involving a change in the state of matter.
Recall the common phase changes: melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization/evaporation (liquid to gas), and condensation (gas to liquid).
Identify that condensation specifically refers to the transition from the gaseous phase to the liquid phase.
Recognize that during condensation, gas particles lose energy, slow down, and come closer together to form a liquid.
Conclude that the best description of condensation is 'A gas changes into a liquid.'
