Study Notes
Evaporation
- Evaporation occurs when surface molecules gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state
- Molecules can gain energy by moving fast enough at the surface or through collisions with air particles
- Evaporation can occur at any temperature, but rate increases with temperature
Boiling
- Boiling occurs when molecules throughout the liquid gain enough energy to enter the gaseous state
- Boiling point is the temperature at which molecules throughout the liquid can change to the gaseous state
- During boiling, the liquid remains at a constant temperature until all molecules turn into a gas
