This phenomenon is called evaporation. Water molecules at the water surface gain sufficient energy to be released in the atmosphere.

What happens to water in a vacuum?

In a vacuum, water evaporates quickly and turns into vapor because there is no air pressure to keep it in its liquid state.


What is the term for water vapor?

The term for water vapor is "gas." Water vapor is the gaseous state of water when it evaporates from liquid water.


How is vapor created?

water that is a liquid, evaporates into the air. and becomes dense forming moisture (water vapor)


When liquid water evaporates to water vapor it?

What event causes vapors to appear?

Vapors are caused by the evaporation into air of a liquid. For example when water evaporates water vapor is produced. This typically happens when heat is applied to the liquid.


When water evaporates is oxygen emitted?

No. Evaporation is when water liquid changes to water vapor. In the vapor there are still water molecules. The only sense in which there is separation is that water molecules are on average much closer together in the liquid phase than in the gas phase.


When water vapor changes to liquid water it?

When water vapor changes to liquid water, it undergoes a process known as condensation. This happens when the temperature of the air decreases to the point where the water vapor molecules lose enough energy to come together and form liquid droplets.


What happens to heat when water evaporates?

When water evaporates, heat from the surroundings is absorbed to break the bonds between water molecules, turning liquid water into water vapor. This heat energy is stored in the water vapor as latent heat, increasing its kinetic energy.
