If the cup of cold water is not exposed to air, no condensation will form. The fast-moving molecules of water vapor transfer their energy to the side of the cup which is cooler. This causes the water ...

The water cycle depends on the processes of evaporation and condensation. Evaporation happens when water molecules at the surface of a liquid move fast enough to break away from other water molecules ...

A U of A engineering researcher is using sunlight and semiconductor catalysts to produce hydrogen by splitting apart water ...

It created fibers! But they were weak. They had formed by the polymerizing process known as a condensation reaction, in which individual molecules join together, with water as a byproduct.

It explains the molecular structure of water and how molecules interact during processes like dissolving, evaporation, and condensation. The film illustrates how temperature affects these ...

This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger molecule whilst eliminating a small molecule. During esterification this small molecule is water.
