Changing the state of matter from gas to liquid requires a gain in thermal energy. True or false

False.

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).
