Question

The conversion of water into steam is an example of

• A. evaporation
• B. freezing
• C. melting
• D. liquefaction

Answer 1

The correct option is A

evaporation

Evaporation is generally defined as a process by which a liquid is transformed into vapor. Evaporation is the process of changing the state of water from liquid to gaseous or vapor/steam.

Freezing: The process of liquid water changing to solid ice is called freezing.

Melting: The process in which solids change to a liquid is called melting. The melting point is the temperature at which solids change to a liquid.

Liquefaction: Liquefaction of gases is the process by which substances in their gaseous state are converted to the liquid state.

Hence, the correct option is A (evaporation)
