Preferred Label : condensation;
Detailed label : condensation in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : The physical process of converting a material from a gaseous or vapour phase to a
liquid or solid phase; this commonly results when the temperature is lowered and/or
the vapour pressure of the material is increased. The tendency exists for condensation
to occur when the partial pressure of a given component of a gaseous mixture at a
given temperature exceeds the vapour pressure of the liquid or solid form of that
component at the given temperature.;
