Question

The collision among the particles in a liquid causes it to evaporate.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The process in which liquid changes into a gaseous state below its boiling point is called evaporation.
• When one object collides with another, it is called a collision.
• When two or more things collide, energy is transferred from one to the other.
• According to collision theory, for a reaction to take place, the interacting particles must collide.

Explanation of collision causes evaporation:

The interaction or collision of particles causes the liquid to evaporate.

• When surface particles obtain enough kinetic energy to depart the system, evaporation occurs.
• In such collisions, the energy is transferred from a particle to another particle, and the faster particles escape.

Hence, the collision among the particles in a liquid causes it to evaporate is a correct statement.
