Dear Student,
The phenomenon of conversion of a liquid into its vapours at any
temperature below its boiling point is known as evaporation
For the conversion of liquid water to the gaseous water (water
vapour), intermolecular hydrogen bonding must be break so that
water molecules gets free and transform into vapour form
To break the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the water
molecules energy is required and water molecules derived this
energy from its surroundings in the form of heat
