| style="height:20px; width:600px; text-align:left;" |The [[particle]]s in the [[gas]] slow down until they are slow enough that [[force]]s between the [[particle]]s start to hold them together. The [[particle]]s end up touching but can still move past each other which makes the [[State of Matter|state]] a [[liquid]].

===Meaning===
[[Condensing]] is an [[exothermic]] [[Physical Change|physical change]] in which a [[gas]] turns into a [[liquid]].
===About Condensing===
: [[Condensing]] happens when the [[particle]]s in a [[gas]] form [[bond]]s holding them together as they lose [[Potential Energy|potential energy]].
: The [[temperature]] at which a [[substance]] '''condenses''' is the same as the [[temperature]] at which it [[boiling|boils]] so it is the [[Boiling Point|boiling point]].
: [[Condensing]] is an [[exothermic]] process, which means it [[emit]]s [[energy]] when it takes place.
: [[Condensing]] is a [[Physical Change|physical change]], which means it is [[Reversible Changes|reversible]] and does not produce new [[chemical]]s.
