How is condensation explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory? Cooling reduces particle motion, resulting in coalescence by attractive forces. Cooling increases collisions, which causes molecules to bond together. Heating breaks the solid bonds, and liquid forms. Reduction in molecular kinetic energy eventually produces the solid phase.

How is condensation explained by the Kinetic Molecular Theory? True: cooling reduces particle motion resulting in coalescence by attractive forces False: cooling increases collisions which causes molecules to bond together. False because increased collisions makes more heat according to KMT False: heating breaks the solid bonds and liquid forms. False because liquid does not form just because you break solid bonds. If anything the bonds were a gas bond and not a solid False:reduction in molecular kinetic energy eventually produces the solid phase. False because condensation is the liquid phase and you see that long before you get to the solid phase of ice
a Cooling reduces particle motion, resulting in coalescence by attractive forces.
At what approximate temperature and pressure can all three phases of water exist simultaneously?
