What is it called when particles slow down from a gas to a liquid?
When there is a change from a gas to a liquid, the process is called condensation.
What is vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid?
That would be evaporation; the particles inside the liquid escape from the surface and into the atmosphere/air.
What uneven forces acting on the particles of a liquid's surface?
Surface Tension
How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.
Why is evaporation called surface phenomenon?
evaporation is called a surface phenomenon because the particles of liquid gain energy from the surroundings , having higher kinetic energy, is able to break the away from the forces of attraction of other particle . that is why it is called a surface phenomenon
Particles inside a liquid as well as on the surface change to a gas?
This is called boiling.
What is it called when particles only leave the surface of a liquid?
This phenomenon is called evaporation.
What is the change of a liquid to a gas under the surface of a liquid?
At the surface of the liquid the phenomenon is called evaporation. In the entire voume of the liquid the phenomenon is called vaporization.

When there is a change from a gas to a liquid, the process is called condensation.
What is vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid?
That would be evaporation; the particles inside the liquid escape from the surface and into the atmosphere/air.
Is vaporization that occurs when particles on the surface of a liquid escape the liquid even when the liquid is below its boiling point?
No; this process is called evaporation.
How solid act like a liquid?
Surface tension-Attractive forces cause particles on the surface of a liquid to pull together and resist from being pushed apart. These particles on the surface are pulled toward the center of the liquid and and sideways along the surface. There are no liquid particles above to pull on them. Particles under the surface are pulled in all different directions. Surface tension is the uneven forces acting on the surface particles of a liquid. Surface tension causes a liquid to act like it has a thin film stretched across the surface.
Liquid to gas change of state?
This change of phase is called vaporization (for the surface of the liquid the phenomenon is called evaporation).
When a solid is heated its particles melt and change into a liquid?
This physical change is called melting.
What is it called when particles move randomly and are well spaced out?
Particles are close but disorganized will change from gaseous state to liquid form. Once in liquid form the particles will spread out.
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.
What force acts on the particles of the surface of a liquid?
its surface tension
