Question

What change occurs to cause steam to condense into water?(1 point)

The reduction of kinetic energy causes the motion of particles lack the ability to overcome gravitational forces.

The addition of kinetic energy causes the motion of steam particles to overcome gravitational forces.

The addition of thermal energy results in steam particles overcoming both gravitational forces and electrostatic forces.

The reduction of thermal energy causes the motion of steam particles to be reduced resulting in formation of electrostatic connections.

Answer 1

The reduction of thermal energy causes the motion of steam particles to be reduced resulting in formation of electrostatic connections.

Explanation: Cooling removes kinetic energy so molecules slow down and intermolecular attractions (e.g., hydrogen bonds) pull them together into the liquid phase.
