What is it called when vaporization occurs below the surface of a liquid?
Evaporation occur at the surface of a liquid; under the surface is vaporization.
What is called when measuring a liquid in a container and you have a parabola at the top of liquid in the container?
The curved upper surface of a column of liquid is called a "meniscus".
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.
What is it called when particles only leave the surface of a liquid?
This phenomenon is called evaporation.

What is the tendency of liquids to decreases their surface area to the smallest size possible?
The surface area of the liquid can decrease when there is increase in the temperature of the day,what is called evaporation is been taking place in the surface of the liquid,wchich decreases the liquid area.
Which physical phenomenon is attributed to tendency of a liquid drop to assume spherical shape?
Surface Tension
What is suface tension?
The amount of energy needed to break the surface of a liquid.
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.
What is the vaporization at the surface of a liquid called?
Evaporation. It only happens at the surface of a liquid.
What is capilliarity?
The tendency of a liquid in a capillary tube or absorbent material to rise or fall as a result of surface tension.
What is vaporization called when it is on the surface of the liquid?
This is called evaporation.
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called what?
The tendency of a less dense substance to float in a more dense liquid is called buoyancy. Acids are substances that form hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
What is it called when vaporization occurs below the surface of a liquid?
