What happens when high energy particles leave the surface of the liquid?

Evaporation.


If liquid evaporates what happens?

In a liquid state, particles are moving at many different speeds. At the surface of the liquid, some of the faster-moving particles are able to escape into the air. Slower-moving particles stay in the liquid state. Slower motion means lower average energy, however, and this means lower temperature. As high-energy particles leave the surface of a liquid it then cools the surface on which it is resting. Scientist call this phenomenon evaporative cooling. Evaporating cooling is common and can be very useful.


Does a liquid turn into a gas when the particles speed up?

Yes. A liquid turns into a gas when the particles speed up. When the particles in the liquid start going at a faster speed than the forces of cohesion in the liquid can hold them in the liquid and the air pressure can continue to push them into the liquid, they leave the liquid.


Does condensation take place when particles leave a liquid and become a gas?

Condensation is when molecules of a substance reach a low enough temperature to change state from gas to liquid. The process you described is called evaporation.


What is the term use for when particles leave the cell?

When particles leave the cell is is either through a passive process such as diffusion or an active process called exocytosis.


Why does evaporation lowers the temperature of liquid?

In any liquid the particles are moving around at various different speeds. The temperature is a measure of the average speed. When a liquid starts to evaporate, it is because the most energetic particles leave the liquid and move away into the air. This means that the average speed of particles in the liquid is less and so the temperature is lowered. However, energy is soon absorbed from the surroundings.


Are particles in a liquid organized?

In a liquid the surface tension cause the liquid to act as if a thin film were stretched across its surface. For example, surface tension allows the spider to float on water as if the water had a thin film.right but not for this question. in a liquid, the particles are not in formation like in a solid, and they can move about. However they can't leave the container until they are heated to become a gas.


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)


What do you call a soild that turns into a liquid and then into a soild again?

WATER! If you put water in a cup and leave it in the freezer it will turn to an ice cube then if you leave it somewhere warm and cosy it will turn back to a liquid again. Try it for yourself even.


What does a strong odor indicate about the ease with which the particles in a solid leave its surface?

its basically just asking you what does it mean for a particle to have a strong odour.


Can particles leave the atom?

Yes. This process is called radioactive decay. The primary particles emitted are alpha particles, which are helium-4 nuclei, and beta particles, which are electrons.


When you put water in a pan what happens?

Water evaporates at any temperature. Some water molecules have enough energy to leave the surface of the liquid. As the temperature increases more and more molecules have enoughenergy to leave the surface of the liquid. At the boiling point all molecules have enough energy to evaporate. Bubbles of vapour form throughout the liquid (we see these bubbles as proof of boiling).
