What is condensation theory ???

Question

please I really need your answers now!

Answer 1

A theory of the condensation and critical state of a system of chemically saturated molecules, in which the system is assumed to consist of independent clusters of molecules

Answer 2

The Condensation Theory:This theory proposes that the Moon and the Earth condensed individually from the nebula that formed the solar system, with the Moon formed in orbit around the Earth. However, if the Moon formed in the vicinity of the Earth it should have nearly the same composition. Specifically, it should possess a significant iron core, and it does not. Also, this hypothesis does not have a natural explanation for the extra baking the lunar material has received.

Answer 3

Related to where the moon came from.

It proposes that the Moon and the Earth condensed individually from the nebula that formed the solar system, with the Moon formed in orbit around the Earth. However, if the Moon formed in the vicinity of the Earth it should have nearly the same composition. Specifically, it should possess a significant iron core, and it does not. Also, this hypothesis does not have a natural explanation for the extra baking the lunar material has received.

So basically, it suggested that the Earth and Moon condensed from the same cloud of material.

HOWEVER, this theory died quickly because the Earth and Moon have quite different densities and compositions. The Moon is poor in volatile materials such as water, which is abundant on the Earth.

BUT IF IT IS THE CHEMISTRY TERM YOU ARE REFERRING TO:

It is the change of the physical state of aggregation (or simply state) of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, bypassing the liquid phase the change is called deposition, which is the opposite of sublimation.

Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to its dew point, but the dewpoint can also be reached through compression. The condensed vapour is called a condensate, the laboratory or the industrial equipment used for condensation is called a condenser.

Answer 4

Please provide more info.

But.

Natural condensation process:

Hot air rises up, it is thinner then the atmospheric air (or atmospher), the bunch of air meet up with the cold air and forms clouds, this then can stay suspended, until they get to the point so that they cannot stay in that gaseous phase, as they rise further and as that happens the gases turn to liquid, or to solid crystals, and this process is called condensation and in this case it comes down as rain or snow.

Distillation is an another form of man made condensation process:

Answer 6

for earth science/chemistry?

Condensation occurs when one of the three states of matter in which a gaseous (vapor) substance transforms into a liquid. It is the reverse of vaporization. As a vapor cools, it gives off energy in the form of latent heat. The release of heat causes each vapor molecule to shrink and move more slowly. Strong intermolecular forces (kinetic-molecular theory of gases) push the smaller gas molecules together; the bonding initiates the transformation into a denser, liquid form called condensate.

Condensation can occur from cooling processes such as distillation and steam engine production, or by exerting pressure in a manner that reduces the volume of the gas. Evidence of condensate is often found on a bathroom mirror after a hot shower, or on the outside of a "sweating" soda can as it warms to room temperature. Meteorological phenomena such as clouds, fog, and dew are also a result of condensation. Clouds form when rising hot air collides with air in cooler elevations.

In chemistry, condensation is defined as a reaction involving the joining of atoms in the same or different molecules. Chemists often use the process of condensation to eliminate simple molecules, such as water or alcohol, to form a heavier, more complex compound.
