Frost forms when water vapor changes directly from a gas to ice in a process called deposition. If you were to model the water particles before and after deposition, how would they compare?

• Before deposition, the particles vibrate in place; after deposition, they slide by each other.

• Before deposition, the particles slide by each other; after deposition, they vibrate in place.

• Before deposition, the particles vibrate in place; after deposition, they move quickly in all directions.

• Before deposition, the particles move quickly in all directions; after deposition, they vibrate in place.
