Why Does Water Evaporate at Room Temperature?

The video explains the processes of boiling and evaporation, focusing on the properties of water molecules and the bonds between them. It describes how water molecules are held together by covalent bonds and interact through hydrogen bonds. Boiling occurs when water reaches 100°C, allowing molecules to break hydrogen bonds and vaporize. Evaporation happens at lower temperatures due to the random energy distribution among molecules, with some gaining enough energy to escape as vapor. Factors like temperature, humidity, and wind affect evaporation rates.
