Evaporation is known as surface phenomena because molecules of water present on the surface of liquid are bonded weakly as compaered to inner molecules and when temperature increases hydrogen bonding between water molecules breaks.Due to this water molecules tend to evaporate.so that's why it is called as surface phenomena.

Does the type of container affect the evaporation?
Evaporation only happens at the surface. So a wider container that allows for a greater surface to be in contact with air, the faster the evaporation.
What is it called when particles only leave the surface of a liquid?
This phenomenon is called evaporation.
Will chilling a liquid will increase the evaporation at the surface?
false
What is the change of state from liquid to gas at the surface of a liquid?
When a liquid changes to a gas below its surface as well as at the surface, the liquid is at a temperature equal to or greater than its boiling point.
How do evaporation and boiling different?
Evaporation is a phenomenon (change of phase) at the surface of a liquid and boiling involve the entire volume of the liquid.
Why evaporation is the surface phenomena where as boiling is a bulk phenomena?
impossible hai re
The phenomena occurring on the surface of the sun?
the surface of the sun is a phenomena for the earth surface from the sun
How does water from earth surface get into the air?
Water gets into the air by a process known as evaporation.
Does evaporation of water happen at the surface?
Evaporation occur at the surface of water.
The formation of a gas resulting from the escape of high-energy particles from the surface of a liquid is known as?
Evaporation
Why is it that the larger the surface area the higher the evaporation?
That's because evaporation occurs at the surface.
How did water get to Earth's surface?
the water cycle - evaporation it sucks all the water back up into the earths surface also known as the hydrosphere.
What is the relationship between surface area and rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
What is vaporization at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling?
Evaporation
When vaporization takes place on the surface of a liquid is called?
If vaporization takes place at the surface of a liquid, it is called evaporation. but when evaporation occurs throughout the substance it is called boiling.
Why do we say that evaporation is a surface phenomenon?
why do we say that evaporation is a phenomenon
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
