Water is initially present in a state where its molecules are far apart. during a change of state, its molecules slow down. which change of state has most likely taken place? from a gas to a liquid from a liquid to a gas from a solid to a liquid from a gas to a plasma

From gas to a liquid

Explanation:

In gaseous stage the water molecules have very large inter molecular distances. This is caused by the high kinetic energy of the individual molecules. As the steam molecules cool down and form a liquid, they slow down and these inter molecular distances diminish, thus the molecules are nearer to each other. Consequently, liquid water has less kinetic energy than steam.  

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
