The simple answer is "bumping into each other".
In collision theory, as the particles move about near the surface of the liquid, occassionally, a pair will crash into each other with enough force, and at the proper angle as to create the escape momentum required to allow the molecule to eject through the surface tension and become airborn.

Hope this helps (:

What are the particles doing if water is evaporating?
Liquid water is transformed in gaseous water.
What are the particles of water doing if the water is evaporating?
if aliquid is evaporating the particles are far apart and move very quickly randomly ! :D
What is a liquid doing when it is evaporating as fast as it can?
Evaporation at maxiumum speed is boiling.
How are meting and evaporating different?
melting(not meting i supose)=solid to liquid evaporating=liquid to gas ;)
How evaporation causes cooling 6 examples?
In a given liquid, the atoms or molecules which are moving the fastest, and hence have the highest temperature, are the ones that are most likely to leave the liquid and evaporate. The atoms or molecules that they leave behind will therefore be cooler. Examples: evaporating water evaporating alcohol evaporating liquid nitrogen evaporating glycerol evaporating liquid helium evaporating acetone.

physical change, its molecules are gaining energy and evaporating
What is it called when you change gas to liquid?
Boiling or Evaporating
How can you tell whether a mixture is a solution or a suspension by 1 freezing it 2 evaporating off the liquid 3 stirring it 4 letting the mixture stand for a while?
Freezing it: If upon freezing, a solution forms a homogeneous solid, it is a solution. If it separates into distinct phases, it is a suspension. Evaporating off the liquid: If after evaporating the liquid, only solid components remain, it is a solution. If there are solid particles left behind, it is a suspension. Stirring it: If the mixture remains visibly the same after stirring, it is likely a solution. If visible particles settle out, it is a suspension. Letting the mixture stand for a while: If the components do not settle out upon standing, it is likely a solution. If visible particles settle to the bottom, it is a suspension.
What is the difference between evaporation and boiling in terms of the movement of the liquid's particles in each case?
In evaporation, only the particles at the surface of the liquid gain enough energy to escape as vapor, while the rest of the liquid remains relatively undisturbed. In boiling, the entire liquid is heated to the boiling point, causing rapid vaporization throughout the liquid and significant movement of particles.
Gas changing into a liquid is called?
Boiling or evaporating.
