Evaporation and Condensation _ GCSE Physics

The video explains the processes of evaporation and condensation. Evaporation occurs when particles in a liquid gain enough energy to become gas, cooling the remaining liquid. This is why sweating cools the body. Factors like temperature, surface area, and air movement can increase evaporation. Condensation is the reverse, where gas turns into liquid, releasing energy. This energy release can cause burns when steam condenses on the skin.

Describe the process of condensation and its effects on gas particles.

Why can steam cause burns when it touches the skin?
