(a) evaporation
(b) melting
(c) condensation
(d) freezing
2. (a) When the water is heated, the water evaporates to form water vapour. (1m)
Then, the water vapour is cooled by the metal plate and condenses into
water, forming water droplets. (1m)
(b) Colourless (1m)
(c) There will be less water droplets formed on the metal plate. (1m)
This is because the rate of evaporation decreases as the temperature is lower.
