Evaporation can only take place on the surface of liquids because that is where the molecules with the highest kinetic are found. Only molecules with high kinetic energy are free to escape into the atmosphere.

What is it called when particles only leave the surface of a liquid?
This phenomenon is called evaporation.

Why do we say that evaporation is a surface phenomenon?
why do we say that evaporation is a phenomenon
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.
Liquid to gas change of state?
This change of phase is called vaporization (for the surface of the liquid the phenomenon is called evaporation).
Why is evaporation called surface phenomenon whereas boiling is bulk phenomenon?
cos the boiling point 100 degree celcius
Evaporation of water from surface of the leaf is called?
This phenomenon is called transpiration.
Which forms in evaporation?
Water gets converted into vapors. Evaporation is a surface phenomenon.
What is liquid to gas evaporation called?
1. When the phenomenon occur at a temperature under the boiling point, at the surface of a liquid, the term is evaporation.2. When the phenomenon occur at the boiling point, in all the volume of the liquid, the term is boiling.
Why do we say that evaporation is the surface phenomenon?
Because it takes place at the surface of the liquid.
Which processes is responsible for changing liquid water into water vapour?
The change of phase from liquid to gas is called vaporization (when the phenomenon is in all the mass) or evaporation (when the phenomenon is only at the surface).
