Step-by-step explanation:

These "more energetic particles" may have

sufficient energy to escape from the surface

of the liquid as gas or vapour.... Evaporation

takes place at room temperature which is

often well below the boiling point of the

liquid. Evaporation happens from the surface

of the liquid.
