What must particles in a liquid overcome in order to break away from the surface and evaporate?
surface tension
Why is evaporation a 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

Does the width of a rubber band affect how far it will stretch?
Yes, the thinner the rubber band is the farther it will stretch, but if its too thin then it might just break.
How do solid and liquid water change to water vapour?
Sufficient energy is added to the molecule to break the inter-molecular bonds. First, in a solid, as energy is added, the bonds absorb the energy, and move more vigorously. So our solid heats up, and eventually, the bonds are broken completely free. We now have a liquid. As energy is added to the liquid, individual molecules absorb enough energy to break free of the surface, and evaporate off into space.
Measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid?
viscosity
What is the force needed to overcome intermolecular attractions and break through the surface of a liquid or spread out of the liquid?
surface tention
What liquid can break surface tension?
Soap, detergents.
How does deformation change earth's surface?
By making it bend, stretch, break, tilt, and fold.
What must particles in a liquid overcome in order to break away from the surface and evaporate?
surface tension
What is the temperature at which a liquid forms bubbles of vapor that break at the surface?
Boiling Point
What is a snow break with stretch panel?
Snow break with stretch panel
What is suface tension?
The amount of energy needed to break the surface of a liquid.
Is water inelastic or elastic?
If by 'elastic', you mean stretchy, then no. Water, frozen or otherwise cannot stretch. When it's Ice it's solid, and is more likely to break if you try. As a liquid it cannot stretch, merely flow.
What liquid does gold float on?
Gold can float on water if there's a layer of oil on the surface. To break the surface tension, a drop of Dawn soap will do the trick.
What is cooking a liquid just below boiling point and bubbles rise slowly and break before reaching surface?
Simmering.
What happen to the particles of a liquid as it vaporizes?
The liquid particles gain energy (usually from thermal energy, i.e. heat) and start to get "excited." This means they vibrate and eventually break away from the surface of the liquid and into the surrounding gas. This particle of matter is still present, but not in liquid form.
