Explain the phenomenon of evaporation on the basis of kinetic theory.

Explanation

According to Kinetic theory, molecules of liquid are in a state of continuous random motion. The molecules near the surface of liquid may have enough kinetic energy so as over come the intermolecular attraction of other molecules on teh surface and hence manage escape. Such molecules would move around freely in the space above the liquid. This is the phenomenon of evaporation which may occur at all temperature.
