Which is true about evaporation and condensation?

Question

1.Evaporation turns water droplets into a gas while condensation turns into a liquid.
2.Evaporation turns water vapor into a liquid while condensation turns water droplets into a gas.
3.They both turn water from a gas to a liquid
4.They both turn water from a liquid to a gas

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

1. Evaporation turns water droplets into a gas while condensation turns it into a liquid.

Explanation:

• Evaporation is the process by which liquid water (e.g., water droplets) turns into water vapor (a gas), typically occurring at the surface of the liquid.
• Condensation is the process by which water vapor (a gas) cools and changes back into liquid water, forming droplets.

So, option 1 accurately describes the processes of evaporation and condensation.
