Answer:

The particles with high kenetic energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The first particles to evaporate from a liquid are those with the highest kinetic energy. When a liquid absorbs thermal or sound energy, its molecules speed up giving them higher kinetic energy. Typically, the particles or molecules at or just under the surface of the liquid escape into the gas phases first
