I am in high school chemistry, and we are learning about gases. We were told that temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles. We were told that the reason water evaporates is because some of the particles in the water have high kinetic energy (higher than the boiling point) and escape and become gases. I was wondering if there is ever particles in the water that have very low kinetic energy and solidify, just like some particles evaporate.
