EVAPORATES Meaning and Definition

  1. Evaporates is a verb that refers to the process in which a liquid substance, such as water or alcohol, changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state. This occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces that hold them together and escape into the surrounding environment as vapor.

    During evaporation, the liquid absorbs heat from its surroundings, leading to an increase in the energy of its molecules. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the liquid's particles also increases, causing them to move more rapidly. Consequently, molecules at the liquid's surface with higher energy are able to break free from the liquid's surface tension and transform into gas or vapor.

    Evaporation typically occurs more rapidly at higher temperatures, with factors such as humidity, air pressure, and surface area affecting the rate of evaporation. Additionally, substances with lower boiling points will evaporate more readily than those with higher boiling points.

    This process of evaporating is commonly observed in everyday situations, such as when a puddle dries up on a sunny day or when wet clothes placed outside dry over time. Evaporation plays a crucial role in the water cycle, as it is responsible for the conversion of liquid water from rivers, lakes, and oceans into vapor, which eventually forms clouds and condenses as precipitation.
