Abstract
As meteorologists probe more deeply into the physical processes involved in the growth of cloud droplets, they are rapidly led to a conclusion which physical chemists have appreciated for quite some time: the varied and unique properties of ordinary water suggest a highly complex structure much of which still remains obscure. On this point there is little disagreement. There is considerably less agreement, however, on the best way in which to re-examine some of the classical concepts on which our facile and inadequate models of liquids are based. Evidence mounts that a fresh start must be made before we can obtain a realistic and fruitful working model. In this connexion, we have chosen to scrutinize the classical concept of evaporation.
