What is Evaporation?
Evaporation is the scientific phenomenon by which liquid can be converted to vapor or its gaseous form. The word “vapor” used in evaporation itself helps to remember the meaning.
Evaporation occurs when the temperature increases, which increases their kinetic energy or we can say more movement of molecules by which they overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction and form liquid. It occurs in liquids only because the intermolecular forces between solids are very high so the molecules cannot get free to form gas.
Difference Between Evaporation And Condensation
Evaporation and Condensation are the words we have often heard while studying liquids in chemistry. These words sound the same but they are different when it comes to the nature of the processes. Besides, water is usually used as an example to understand the concept of Evaporation and Condensation.
