Which term describes the change of state from a gas to a liquid?

• A. Evaporation
• B. Melting
• C. Sublimation
• D. Condensation

Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the process described: changing from a gas to a liquid.
2. Recall the definitions of phase changes: Evaporation is liquid to gas, Melting is solid to liquid, Sublimation is solid to gas.
3. Understand that the reverse of evaporation (gas to liquid) is called condensation.
4. Confirm that condensation is the term used for the phase change from gas to liquid.
5. Therefore, the correct term describing the change of state from a gas to a liquid is condensation.
