Earlier in the lesson, you observed isopropanol and water drops on a paper towel Even thought the same amount of energy was transferred into both substances from the air, the isopropanol evaporated while the water did not. Why did the isopropanol change phase, but the liquid did not?

The isopropanol had a weaker attraction than water. It required less energy transferred in to overcome the attraction.
