The liquid's molecules become increasingly excited as more heat (energy) is applied. This weakens bonds between the molecules and they become more gas-like. Eventually the boiling point is reached and the liquid evaporates.
However some molecules evaporate before the boiling point is reached. This is because molecules around the edges of the body of liquid are not bound to the rest of the liquid on all sides. This means that less energy is required for them to become gas.

Do all liquids evaporate at the same rates?
In order for a given liquid or solid to evaporate, a sufficient 'energy barrier' has to be overcome. As this barrier is different for almost all materials, the rate at which the liquid becomes a gas is most certainly different.
Respiratory condition occurs most commonly during colder months?
influenza
What are the requirements for nuclear fission to take place?
A nucleus which on absorbing a neutron becomes unstable and consequently splits. This happens with U-235 and Pu-239, which are the most common examples.
Most metals are NOT what?
None are more metallic. Metallic is a way of describing a metal in general.
What is most likely the result of an organism having liquids in its body?
Jjuhjomhj
What is the effect of temperature on viscocity?
the colder most liquids get, the more viscous they get.
What happens to the volume of most substances when they get colder?
they contract
How refrigeration cause a decrease or an increase in urine specific gravity?
Most liquids get denser as they get colder.
What happens to frozen water that is different from most frozen liquids?
Frozen water expands, while other frozen liquids contract.
When water becomes solid what happens to its size?
The water which was originally in a liquid stage, turns into a solid when it freezes. The particles in the water come closer together, therefore, the water contracts. This is not true. Most liquids do this when they freeze but water expaneds.
What happens to the notochord in most developing vertebrae?
becomes the nucleus pulpous
Do animals start hibernating in early December?
Yes! During December winters comes and weathers becomes colder and colder. Most of t animal like bear, squirrel, and maybe chipmunk would hibernate.
What happens to liquid as they get warm?
The liquid turns into a solid. Er, not generally. As they get hotter, most liquids tend to evaporate!
What happens in the most serious cases of mastoiditis?
In the most serious cases, the bone itself becomes infected.
What happens when you place a liquid in the freezer?
When liquids are placed in the freezer, most of them freeze over and become solids. There are exceptions to this like alcohol.
What happens when water vapor rises higher and higher into the sky?
The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. Most planes fly near the tropopause since there's less water vapor and, therefore, weather there.
What happens when an atom loses an electron in its outer most shell?
it becomes a positive ion
