Explanation:

When hot water is cooled, you may observe the formation of tiny water droplets or beads on the bottom of the watch glass. This is due to the cooling of the water causing its vapor pressure to decrease and leading to the condensation of water vapor on the cool surface of the watch glass.

The water at the bottom of the watch glass comes from the air surrounding it. As the hot water cools, the water vapor in the air around it condenses on the cool surface of the watch glass, forming tiny droplets of water.

As hot water cools, the particles of water lose kinetic energy, and their motion becomes slower. As a result, the particles start to come closer together, and the attractive forces between them become stronger. This causes the particles to move more sluggishly and eventually form clusters or droplets.

During the process of cooling, the particles of water lose energy and move more slowly. This causes the attractive forces between them to increase, and they start to come closer together. Eventually, the particles form clusters or droplets as they condense from the water vapor. The cooling process causes the particles of water to transition from a high-energy, high-kinetic state to a low-energy, low-kinetic state, leading to the formation of droplets or condensation
