Sublimation is the conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid. It occurs more frequently among substances that are close to their freezing point.

The five phases of matter. There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates.

4 States of Matter Properties – Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma

We look at five states of matter on the site. Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) are different states of matter that have different physical properties.

Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.

The process of a liquid becoming a gas is called boiling (or vapourization), while the process of a gas becoming a liquid is called condensation.

FreezingFreezing or solidification is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to its freezing point.

Vaporization of a sample of liquid is a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling. Evaporation occurs at temperatures below the boiling point, and occurs on the liquid’s surface.

The liquid can be changed in phase transformation to a gas by evaporation and a gaseous phase can be changed into liquid by condensation under conditions of high pressure and low temperature. E.g. to change an everyday gas such as nitrogen into a liquid we need to cool it down below about −200oC.

A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed. Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth.

Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water. Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapor. As a result, excess water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets.

Visible and Concealed Condensation Two things must be present for condensation to occur: warm moist air, and cool surface temperatures below the dew point. The proper control of these two factors can minimize condensation.

Water vapour from the air condenses on the coils and drips into a tank. The condensed water is pure because when the water originally evaporated into the air, it left its impurities and minerals behind.

Evaporation is a phenomenon in which a substance expands due to which its shape changes. Condensation is a process of changing of a substance from vapour to liquid on cooling. So liquid form of water is changing into vapour form.

Fog is formed by the condensation of water vapour present in air near the ground during very cold winter morning. The spectacle glasses become wet because the water vapour present in our breath condenses on the glasses to form tiny droplets of water.

The changing of water into water vapour is called evaporation. The heat produced by heater will evaporate the water present in wet clothes faster rate due to which the uniform will get dry quickly. The changing of a liquid into vapours or gas is called evaporation.

By definition, evaporation is a process where water changes into vapour. Condensation is the opposite process where water vapour is converted to tiny droplets of water. Evaporation occurs before a liquid reaches its boiling point. Condensation is a phase change regardless of the temperature.

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

Condensation is moisture going from the vapor state to the liquid state. Deposition is moisture going from the vapor state to the solid state.

Condensation on your glass (or your glasses) If you wear glasses and go from a cold, air-conditioned room to outside on a humid day, the lenses fog up as small water droplets coat the surface via condensation. You probably see condensation right at home every day.

After condensation the water vapour or the moisture in the atmosphere takes one of the following forms — dew, frost, fog and clouds.

Common examples of condensation are: dew forming on grass in the early morning, eye glasses fogging up when you enter a warm building on a cold winter day, or water drops forming on a glass holding a cold drink on a hot summer day. Condensation occurs when water droplets form due to cooling air.

Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water.

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization. The word most often refers to the water cycle.

Condensation is a process by which a substance changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. As a gas cools, it loses heat, or thermal energy. The particles that make up the gas move more slowly; that allows the attractive forces among them to increase, causing droplets of liquid to form.

Condensation occurs when warm air collides with cold surfaces, or when there’s too much humidity in your home. When this moisture-packed warm air comes into contact with a chilly surface, it cools down quickly and releases the water, which turns into liquid droplets on the cold surface.

Heating. Being smart about your heating can also help prevent damp. So infrared can really help to dry out walls if they are affected by damp – as long as there are no underlying issues. They can stop walls getting cold enough for water to settle on them.

How Do I Prevent Condensation?

1. Try to keep the inside temperature reasonably constant.
2. Avoid drying clothes indoors.
3. Do not dry clothes over any radiators.
4. Ensure tumble driers are properly vented or the condensate is regularly emptied.
5. Keep furniture away from walls.
6. Do not turn off or disable extractor fans.

Interior Condensation

1. Turn Down the Humidifier. You might notice condensation in your bathroom, kitchen, or nursery.
2. Buy a Moisture Eliminator.
3. Bathroom and Kitchen Fans.
4. Circulate the Air.
5. Open Your Windows.
6. Raise the Temperature.
7. Add Weather Stripping.
8. Use Storm Windows.
