Yes, they can occur at the same time.
Evaporation is the process whereby the molecules of the liquid which possess enough kinetic energy (KE) escape from the liquid.
Condensation is the process whereby the molecules of the vapour which possess too little KE, thus return to the liquid.
While there are molecules that possess enough KE to be vapour, there can also be vapour molecules that possess too little KE to be vapour (for example: Clouds). The two kinds of molecules can co-exist.
Thus, evaporation and condensation can occur at the same time.
When the rate of evaporation is greater than the rate of condensation, there is a net decrease in the amount of molecules in the liquid, and vice versa.

Distillation?
The process of evaporation(boiling) and condensation at the same time (simultaneously) to get pure liquid from a solution is known as Distillation.
Does evaporation and condensation works?
yes, they do work, but I don't think they can work at the same time!!!
What makes evaporation and condensation alike?
Evaporation and Condensation are based upon the energy in the water molecules. If the water temperature (vapor) is above the surface temperature, it will evaporate. If the water temperature (vapor) is below the surface temperature it will condense. Evaporation and condensation are happening at the same time. We add the term "Net" at the beginning to show which is happening at a greater rate. The temperature at which there is net condensation is referred to as dew point.
Can you compare evaporation and condensation?
Evaporation is the process in which there is a change of state from liquid to gas. Condensation it is the process in which there is a change of state from gaseous to liquid or solid. Evaporation takes place from surfaces, all the time at all places Condensation can take place on surfaces, or at any place in a gas, though it is often aided by the presence of dust or other small particles. Evaporation absorbs energy. Condensation gives out energy.
How does evaporation occur when washing clothes in a washing machine?
just like every time evaporation occurs
Does evaporation of ocean water rarely occur?
No, it evaporates all the time.
Would a cold can outside on a warm sunny day cause evaporation or condensation?
Its will not cause evaporation or condensation. What will happen is that it will cause some moist air because hot fonts and cold fonts create moist air. you can see it all the time on the news in the summer.
Jokes involving evaporation condensation?
I find myself confused every time I open a can of Evaporated Milk. There's always liquid in it.
What steps in the water cycle follow evaporation?
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation! YAY! My fourth grade teacher taught me a little song. It was really catchy. I don't think I will forget any time soon. :)
What is the process which liquid water changes to water vapor?
evaporation, Ihope this helps! (;
Why does condensation occur in a plastic bag?
it happens because what ever item you have in the bag has/had moister in it so after time the moister tries to evaporate but it cant because of the bag so it turns into condensation
What are two events that cannot occur at the same time called?
Two events that cannot occur at the same time are called mutually exclusive.
