Yes, that's basically what happens at the atomic or molecular level.
Evaporation is the changing of liquid water to water vapor.Condensation is when air cools and water vapor turns into liquid.
Evaporation.
Evaporation is a spontaneous phenomenon. The molecules in the liquid possess kinetic energy. All the molecules donot possess the same kinetic energy. The molecules with higher kinetic energy are on the surface of liquids. They can readily overcome the intermolecular attractions and escape into the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as evaporation. As the molecules with higher kinetic energy keep on escaping the whole kinetic energy of the liquid is lowered. Since energy is directly proportional to temperature. Thus evaporation causes cooling effect.
Changing a liquid to a gas.
Factors that affect evaporation include temperature, humidity, wind velocity, exposed surface area, porosity of soil, grain size of soil particles, soil water content, matric potential, and sun intensity.

That would be evaporation; the particles inside the liquid escape from the surface and into the atmosphere/air.
This process is called evaporation.
No; this process is called evaporation.
Evaporation
Molecules speed up when they are turned from liquid into vapor. This is because they have more freedom to move around due to gaseous properties. Gases conform to the volume of the container, so they have more room to spread out, compared to liquids that do not have the ability to change volume
evaporation
KE of particles in a liquid will differ, the faster ones can escape as vapour even at temperatures lower than boiling.
If the temperature of a liquid is less than its boiling point then the average kinetic energy of the particles in the liquid will be less than the energy required to escape the liquid. However, particle energies will vary and some higher energy particles will be able to escape the liquid. This is called evaporation. On the other hand if the average kinetic energy of particles in the liquid is sufficient for the particles to escape the liquid then the process is called boiling. So the boiling point of a liquid is defined to be the temperature such that atoms in the liquid have, on average, sufficient kinetic energy to escape the liquid. More importantly, last week I got stuck behind my fridge and had to stay there overnight.
When the particles of a liquid gain energy some of them can escape from the surface, and if eventually all of them do this a gas will form. We call this evaporation. If there is sufficient energy for all of them to escape at once, they all move to be far apart and we say the liquid boils.
This phenomenon is called evaporation.
Evaporation (more for talking about water) or vaporization (as a general term) refers to the process in which a liquid changes into a gas. In evaporation, the liquid turns into a gas at the surface. In boiling, vaporization occurs throughout the liquid.
