Q

Molecular arrangement and energy changes during condensation

A
When heat is extracted > 
K.E of molecules decreases > 
temperature falls > 
reaches a sufficient temperature > 
further extraction of heat from gas > 
instead of K.E, it reduces P.E > 
this causes intermolecular forces of attraction to increase >
brings molecules together >
at this point it turns from l -> g .
