[Avatar TLAB] could an air bender condense a gas into it's liquid state?

If they could would they still be able to bend it?

In order to turn oxygen into its liquid state, you would need to do one of two things:

1. Make it colder, but only water and fire benders seem to be able to change the temperature of their elements.

2. More likely: they'd need to increase the pressure of it. Essentially, they'd have to take air and squeeze it into a tiny ball, but it would take a very large amount of energy to compress air to the point of it turning into liquid. At that point, they would need to focus all of their energy on compressing the air, and wouldn't really have any leftover energy or momentum to do anything with the liquid oxygen. Plus, once they bend it and (for example) throw it at someone, the pressure will be released and it will go back to being a gas almost instantly.

 *Edit: forgot about lava benders. Vibrating the molecules in earth fast enough would turn them into lava. Still less energy than point 2.*
