At room temperature, water isn’t boiling. Then why does it evaporate?

All fluids are always evaporating. High temperatures just increase the rate of evaporation. What is Evaporation ? A fluid has billions of molecules, all whizzing around at different speeds. Most molecules have a ‘most probable velocity’ (which is low for water at room temperature). Some have low velocities while some have very high velocities. If … Continue reading At room temperature, water isn’t boiling. Then why does it evaporate?
