What happens during condensation and sublimation? Describe the arrangement of particles and how they behave during such transformation
Answers
Explanation:
Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.
During condensation, a substance is changed from the gaseous to the liquid state of matter. Vaporization, which is more often referred to as “boiling,” is the complementary process in which a chemical is converted from the liquid state of matter to a gaseous physical form.
The process in which a solid changes directly to a gas is called sublimation. It occurs when the particles of a solid absorb enough energy to completely overcome the force of attraction between them. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, CO2) is an example of a solid that undergoes sublimation.
