b. The water molecule did not escape and were left in the liquid
c. The liquid water becomes solid water
d. None of the above
21. Most of the water on the surface of the liquid will turn from liquid to gas. Explain why?
a. The water molecules which did not escape and were left in the liquid have lower average
kinetic energy
b. Because the higher the temperature will cause the particles of water to move much faster
and have more energy to escape from the surface of the liquid
c. Molecules of water that previously evaporated are condensing
d. All of the above
22. What is the difference between evaporation and boiling?
a. During evaporation, the water molecules evaporate only from the surface of the liquid but
during boiling, water molecules evaporate both from surface and within the liquid
b. Evaporation can occur at specific temperature and pressures but boiling takes place at low
or high temperature
c. Temperature of liquid increases as it boils the same with evaporation
d. All of the above
23. How the water change from gas to liquid?
 a. When a gas is cooled, the motion of the particles slow down
b. If the particles lose motion and cause them to come closer with one another to become a
liquid
c. As the water is heated and the temperature of the water rises, the molecules gain more
kinetic energy and they move faster
d. All of the above
24. Molecules that escape to the gaseous phase is called
a. Water vapor b. melting c. evaporation d. condensation
