Surface tension
Uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid

Evaporation
Vaporization that occurs only at the surface of a liquid
Kinetic energy
Kind of energy that an object has due to its motion
Sublimation
Change of state of a solid to a gas without going through the liquid state
Temperature
Measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object.
Thermal energy
Total potential and kinetic energies of an object
Vaporization
Changes of a state of a liquid into a gas.
