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 is diffusion in liquid and in gas?
Diffusion in liquids is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration due to their random motion. In gases, diffusion is the mixing of gas molecules in a way that each gas becomes evenly distributed in the entire space available.
Do all liquids evaporate at the same rates?
In order for a given liquid or solid to evaporate, a sufficient 'energy barrier' has to be overcome. As this barrier is different for almost all materials, the rate at which the liquid becomes a gas is most certainly different.
What happens to all gases many liquids and most solids when their temperature increases?
When the temperature of gases, many liquids, and most solids increases, their particles gain kinetic energy and move more vigorously. For gases, this often leads to an increase in pressure if the volume is constant, while liquids may expand slightly. Solids generally do not change their volume significantly, but they can become more malleable or change phase if the temperature is high enough. Overall, increased temperature typically results in expansion and changes in state or behavior.
Which respiratory condition occurs most commonly during colder months?
Influenza is a respiratory condition that occurs most commonly during colder months, typically during the fall and winter seasons. This is because the influenza virus thrives in colder temperatures and low humidity, making transmission more common during these times.
Most metals are NOT what?
None are more metallic. Metallic is a way of describing a metal in general.
What happens to the notochord in most developing vertebrae?
becomes the nucleus pulpous
Do animals start hibernating in early December?
Yes! During December winters comes and weathers becomes colder and colder. Most of t animal like bear, squirrel, and maybe chipmunk would hibernate.
What happens in the most serious cases of mastoiditis?
In the most serious cases, the bone itself becomes infected.
What happens to liquid as they get warm?
The liquid turns into a solid. Er, not generally. As they get hotter, most liquids tend to evaporate!
What happens when an atom loses an electron in its outer most shell?
it becomes a positive ion
What happens to the most of the precipitation that falls to Earth's surface?
Seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
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.
What happens to water when it is below 0?
Most of the time the water freezes or becomes really cold it depends where you are
What happens to frozen water that is different from most frozen liquids?
Frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that causes it to expand, unlike most liquids that contract when they freeze. This expansion is why ice floats on water.
Are most metals liquids?
At standard temperatures and pressures, most metals are not liquids (the exception is mercury).
