What is the term for the change of state from gas to liquid?

The term for the change of state from gas to liquid is condensation. This process occurs when vapor molecules lose energy and come together, forming a liquid. Condensation is commonly observed when water vapor in the air cools, such as when dew forms on grass in the early morning or when water droplets collect on the outside of a cold glass.

The other options do not describe this specific change of state. Evaporation refers to the transition of liquid to gas, vaporization encompasses both evaporation and boiling when a substance transitions from liquid to gas, and mitosis is a biological process related to cell division, which is unrelated to changes in state of matter.
