Q

Evaporation

A

when the particles of a liquid gain so much energy they leave the surface and form a gas

17
Q

Boiling point

A

the temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas

18
Q

Condensation

A

cooling a gas takes its energy, making the particles move closer and become a liquid

19
Q

Sublimation

A

when some substances are heated, they do not become a liquid, they become a gas straight away.
