Some particles have lower kinetic energies and other have higher kinetic energies. The particles having higher kinetic energies at the surface of the liquid overcome the forces of attraction of other particles, leave the surface and get converted into vapour.

Evaporation is continuous process and particles keep on escaping the surface of the liquid.

1. At what temperature evaporation takes place?

(i) At boiling point

(ii) Above boiling point

(iii) At room temperature

(ii) Decreases with temperature
(iii) No effect of temperature
(iv) None of these
