Question

What is the process of evaporation?
Options
A The change from gas to liquid
B The change from solid to liquid
C When particles of a liquid escape to form a vapor, typically from the surface
Correct Answer
D The change from solid directly to gas
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Evaporation occurs when particles of a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to escape from the surface and form a vapor. This process can occur at temperatures below the boiling point and primarily involves surface particles.

Hint

Evaporation is surface vaporization below the boiling point.
