This has to do with their boiling point, and their boiling point is connected to the cohesion between the molecules of the liquid. Different liquids have different boiling points because of the molecular forces between the molecules. At room temperature there is a certain amount of energy in the liquid, depending on the boiling point some of the liquid might be at a level to 'evaporate off' ie by becoming so energetic that it becomes gaseous.

... are less dense than others. Ex.- Water evaporates easily because it isn't very dense. Milk takes longer because it is more dense.

Do all liquids evaporate at the same rates?
In order for a given liquid or solid to evaporate, a sufficient 'energy barrier' has to be overcome. As this barrier is different for almost all materials, the rate at which the liquid becomes a gas is most certainly different.
What liquids evaporate in sunlight?
I think a better question would be, what liquids DON'T evaporate in sunlight. I believe the answer to that question would be mercury.
Does spirit and water evaporate at same rate?
Liquids differ in the rate at which they evaporate.
What is Nonvolatile solutes?
A liquid that is slow to evaporate.
What are the four liquids that can evaporate easily?
Water ?

Can juice evaporate?
All juices if they are fully liquid (and 0 percent thick) can evaporate
How do brownies evaporate?
Brownies do not evaporate. Only liquids evaporate.
What liquids will evaporate?
All liquids would evaporate if heated to a high enough temperature.
What property of the fractions makes the fractional distillation works?
Because the mixed liquids have different boiling points allowing the different liquids to boil at different times!
Do all liquids evaporate at the same time?
Yes and no. For practical purposes most all liquids will evaporate over time. Technically, you can create a controlled environement to eliminate evaporation.
What is a volitile liquid?
Violate liquids are liquids that will evaporate, or vaporize easily. They evaporate at room temperature. Violate liquids have a low boiling point.
Do all liquids evaporate and solidify at the same temperature?
No. All liquids have different specific freezing points. Some liquids may have the same point, but that doesnt change anything.
When liquids change to gas they?
evaporate
Why is distillation is a good way to separate hydrocarbons?
Because they evaporate at different rates, each has a different boiling point.
What liquids evaporate in sunlight?
I think a better question would be, what liquids DON'T evaporate in sunlight. I believe the answer to that question would be mercury.
Does spirit and water evaporate at same rate?
Liquids differ in the rate at which they evaporate.
