When a liquid is heated its molecules react, In fact they start to move around and violently interact Crashing into molecules Which are not yet in motion until they gain such insane speeds they break free of their boiling potion And so they make their great escape in the form of vapor Until they meet with something cold and their adventure starts to taper Losing kinetic energy they start to coalesce and become little liquid drops upon the newfound cold surface The process itself is not unlike A kettle boiling fast The steam escapes the angry jug and collects in droplets on the glass It also happens naturally when the suns hot rays makes water to evaporate and thus creates clouds full of rain In chemical technology the procedure is done with distilling apparatus or a big distilling column Its purpose is to separate liquids that can steam from ones that can’t evaporate or turn to gas so easily The portion which evaporates When heat is applied condens...
