In both cases, a phase change from liquid to gas occurs.

evaporation normally is associated with a slow process where the liquid molecules, usually on or near the surface of the liquid, gain sufficient energy to overcome atmospheric pressure and the intermolecular forces of the liquid and escape as individual molecules of gas.

boiling is usually a more rapid process involving the addition of heat to the liquid until the temperature is = to the boiling point of the liquid. At this point, the vapor pressure overcomes atmospheric pressure and intermolecular forces. In this condition, the liquid molecules not only at or near the surface, but also those within the liquid bulk, begin to vaporize. The result is the familiar bubbles of a boiling liquid. The bubbles are, of course, gas bubbles that escape the liquid as they breach the surface.

How is evaporation different from boiling?

as the evaporation occurs under the atmospheric pressure that is492degr and the boiling point occurs above the atmospheric pressure different liquids have different boiling points just the boiling point of water is 100deg c

How do evaporation and boiling different?

Evaporation is a phenomenon (change of phase) at the surface of a liquid and boiling involve the entire volume of the liquid.


Is boiling a form of evaporation or is evaporation a form of boiling?

Evaporation is one of the 3 types of boiling.


What are the two types of vaporization and how they are similar and how they are different?

its evaporation and boiling.


How is evaporation different from boiling water?

You boil a substance to evaporate the liquid.


What is the different between vaporization evaporation and boiling?

The difference between them is that boiling is when you heat a liguid and it turns into a gas, vaporization is when a liquid changes into a gas and evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid beneath its boiling point.


What is different evaporation and vaporization?

Evaporation occur at the surface of a liquid and at any temperature under the boiling point.Vaporization occur only at the boiling point and in the entire volume of the liquid.


Boiling and evaporation are both forms of what?

Boiling and evaporation are both forms of changing liquids into gas. Boiling occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point, while evaporation can occur at any temperature.


What is the name of the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at a temperature below the substances boiling point?

This is called evaporation. It is different from boiling because it only occurs at the top layer of molecules of the liquid, while the latter occurs in the whole body of the liquid.


How is the boiling of liquid related to the evaporation process?

Evaporation is partial boiling. When a liquid reaches its boiling point, no molecules of water will stay liquid and evaporation is at 100%.
