Question

difference between
Evaporation
condensation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Condensation is the change from a vapor to a condensed state (solid or liquid). Evaporation is the change of a liquid to a gas.

Answer 2

# Evaporation

• By definition, evaporation is a process where water changes into vapour.
• Evaporation occurs before a liquid reaches its boiling point.
• In terms of molecular movement, when a liquid is heated or when pressure is decreased the forces of attraction between molecules is low. The liquid then evaporates to a gas.

• Evaporation can occur in all surfaces, at all times and at all places. Evaporation is frequent when the air is dry, hot and windy.

• Evaporation usually takes place in low altitudes.
• When evaporation takes place energy is consumed.

# Condensation

• Condensation is the opposite process where water vapour is converted to tiny droplets of water.
• Condensation is a phase change regardless of the temperature.
• When a gas is cooled or when the pressure is increased the forces of attraction between molecules become strong. The gas then condenses to either a liquid or even a solid.
• Condensation takes place on salt, hygroscopic nuclei-pollen grains, carbon particles etc.when air temperature is decreased beyond the level of saturation.
• Condensation happens mainly at higher altitudes.
• In the process of condensation energy is released.
