Evaporation turns water from a liquid to a gas, while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
Evaporation turns water from a liquid to a gas, while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
The correct statement is:
Evaporation turns water droplets into a gas while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid.
To understand this, we need to know what evaporation and condensation are.
Evaporation is the process by which a liquid, such as water, changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state. It occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between them and escape into the air. This leads to the formation of water vapor.
Condensation, on the other hand, is the process by which a gas, such as water vapor, changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. It occurs when the water vapor molecules lose energy and come closer together, forming liquid water droplets.
So, evaporation turns water droplets into a gas (water vapor), while condensation turns water vapor into a liquid (water droplets). Therefore, the second response is correct.
