Condensation is the name for the phase of a gas changing to a  liquid state. It is the opposite of vaporization, which is when a  liquid changes to a gas state.   An exaâ¦mple of condensation is when water vapor condenses on the  side of a cold bottle or glass when it makes contact with the  surface.
Introduce the process of condensation. If students do not know what the process of condensation is, you can tell them it is the opposite of evaporation. In evaporation, a liquid (like water) changes state to become a gas (water vapor). In condensation, a gas (like water vapor) changes state to become a liquid (water). Explain that as water molecules in the air cool and slow down, their attractions overcome their speed and they join together, forming liquid water. This is the process of condensation.
