Answer 1

The answer is vaporization, then condensation.

Here is a set of flash card that can help with this subject.

Answer 2

Answer: At first, vaporization will occur then condensation will occur.

Explanation:

Vaporization is defined as a physical process in which liquid starts getting converted to the vapor (gaseous) state.

$Liquid\rightleftharpoons Gas$

Condensation is defined as a physical process in which gas starts getting converted to liquid state.

$Gas\rightleftharpoons Liquid$

When an uncovered pot on the soup is simmering on the stove, vapor formation starts and liquid starts to get convert into vapors and when these vapors reaches the cold surface on the wall, it starts to condense and gets converted into liquid phase again.

Hence, at first, vaporization process will occur then condensation process will occur.
