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
What is called in a liquid the particles at the surface change to gas?
vaporisation
What happens if energy is added or removed from a glass of ice water?
for a liquid to freeze , the attraction between the particles must overcome the motion of the particles.
What happens when high energy particles leave the surface of the liquid?
Evaporation.
Which are the first particles to evaporate from a liquid?
The particles that evaporate from a liquid are on the surface of the liquid.
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 it true that particles can only evaporate from a liquid at temperatures above liquids boiling point?
It is not true; evaporation occur at the surface of a liquid and the temperature is under the boiling point.
Why does chlorine evaporate?
Chlorine evaporates for exactly the same reason that any other substance evaporates. For any individual atom or molecule, if the random thermal motion of that particle takes it in the direction of the surface of the liquid, with sufficient speed to overcome the attraction that the liquid exerts, it will evaporate.
Why do molecules evaporate?
Molecules in a liquid must overcome intermolecular forces before they can evaporate. The molecules must also be moving in the right direction and located near the surface in order for evaporation to occur.
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.
What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid?
energy between particles
Will chilling a liquid increase evaporate at the surface?
yes
How could particles of a liquid end up as a particles of gas?
Usually by adding heat and/or reducing pressure.
Do liquid particles break away completley from one another?
Yes, when they evaporate.
What causes particals to evaporate and leave the surface of a liquid?
Molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb kinetic energy (kinetic energy used to disrupt intermolecular forces) and evaporate. (vapor pressure is exerted)
Can particles evaporate from a liquid before the liquid comes to a boil?
yes it can your peanous feels good in my mouth you dic
