What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state?
Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state.
Process in which vapour molecules are recaptured by molecules at liquid surface?
I suppose that dynamic equilibrium is the adequqte term.
Liquid changing to gas only at surface is called?
When vaporization takes place only on a liquid's surface, the process is called evaporization.
The process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid?
The process by which water changes from liquid to a gas is called evaporation.At the liquid/ gas surface of water and air, water molecules are constantly escaping from the liquid phase into the gaseous phase (evaporation) and gaseous water vapor is simultaneously condensing onto the surface of the water. If the number of molecules escaping from the liquid phase is greater than the number of molecules condensing into liquid, we call the situation evaporation.ADD: Vaporization. There are two types of vaporization, evaporation and boiling.
What is the process which molecules of water vapor in the air become liquid water?
This process is called condensation.
Why do molecules at the surface of a liquid behave differently from molecules in the interior of the liquid?
In the interior the intermolecular forces of attraction is equal in all directions but the molecules at the surface of liquid experiences unequal intermolecular forces of attraction. the molecules at the surface are free so the adsorb liquid or gaseous molecules
What is it When molecules of a gas draw closer together to become a liquid?
The process by which the molecules of a gas draw closer to become a liquid is called condensation
What is the process where water changes from a liquid to a gas is called?
This process is called boiling (in mass) or evaporation (at the surface).
What is the process by which particles escape from the surface of a liquid and enter the gas state called?
This process is called evaporation.
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.
The process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor is called?
Evaporation..?
