Question

While washing his hands before the client consultation with Chloe, Jayden dripped some water onto the countertop. When he came back later to wipe it up, it had evaporated. What happened to the drops of water?

Answer 1

Answer:

they changed their state to a gas

Explanation:

Remember, the three basic states of matter are;

• solid,
• liquid,
• and gas.

So, as the time when Jayden dripped some water onto the countertop, they were in a liquid state. However, due to the heat present in the atmosphere, these drops of water escaped (evaporated) into the gaseous form (i.e they became water vapor).
