Question

How does evaporation take place at all temperatures?

Answer 1

Dear student ,

Evaporation is the process in which a liquid get converted into the vapour state at any temperature below its boiling point. The three states of matter : gas, liquid or solid do not have the same kinetic energy. In case of liquids, the particles at the surface having higher kinetic energy are able to break away from the forces of attraction of other particles and get converted into vapour state, resulting in evaporation of the liquid.
