If only water is involved in either the process of condensation or freezing then that process is called either HOMOGENEOUS condensation or HOMOGENEOUS freezing. Most condensation or freezing, however, involves more than just water. Most often particulates (often called aerosols) serve as nuclei to initiate the process. In this case the process is a HETEROGENEOUS process. 3, record 1, English, - homogeneous%20condensation
