Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since thermal means heat, then this statement is false.

You would need to cool the gas (or lose thermal energy) for a gas to become a liquid.

To go from a liquid to a gas, then you would apply thermal energy (or the liquid would have to gain thermal energy).
