What is evaporation? Explain it on the basis of molecular motion.
उत्तर
Evaporation: The change of state from liquid to vapour at all temperatures from the surface of liquid is called evaporation.
Explanation of Evaporation on the bases of molecular motion:
The inter-molecular force of attraction is lesser in liquids as compared to solids. Hence, liquid molecules can move throughout the liquid and in the process, they collide with each other, transferring energy between them. Molecules with higher kinetic energy reach the surface of the liquid while those with lesser kinetic energy remain inside the liquid. The higher energy molecules on the surface absorb some more heat from the surroundings to gain sufficient kinetic energy to do work against the force of attraction on them due to other molecules inside the liquid escaping out from the surface into space. These escaping molecules form the vapour of the liquid. The process continues till all the liquid evaporates.
