3
Q
Steps involving condensation?
A
Particles lose kinetic energy as gas cools
The attractive forces between the particles are pulled closer if the temperature gets cold enough and particles get close enough
4
Q

A
Particles need to be travelling in the right direction
Particles steal kinetic energy of other particles until they reach a certain temperature
