The liquid's molecules become increasingly excited as more heat (energy) is applied. This weakens bonds between the molecules and they become more gas-like. Eventually the boiling point is reached and the liquid evaporates.

However some molecules evaporate before the boiling point is reached. This is because molecules around the edges of the body of liquid are not bound to the rest of the liquid on all sides. This means that less energy is required for them to become gas.

What happens when you place a liquid in the freezer?

When liquids are placed in the freezer, most of them freeze over and become solids. There are exceptions to this like alcohol.


What happens to the volume of most substances when they get colder?

Most substances contract and decrease in volume when they get colder because the decrease in temperature causes the particles to move slower and closer together. This is due to the decrease in thermal energy, resulting in a decrease in the average kinetic energy of the particles.


What is the effect of temperature on viscocity?

As temperature increases, viscosity typically decreases for liquids, as the molecules have more energy and move more freely. However, for gases, viscosity tends to increase with temperature as the gas molecules collide more frequently at higher temperatures.
