Evaporation
The phase change that occurs when a gas turns into a liquid is called condensation.
Precipitation Vaporization is the process in which a liquid becomes a gas.
A phase change occurs when a material goes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, a liquid state to a solid state, or the above in reverse order.
For example a change of phase: from liquid to solid.
It boils: the liquid changes to gas phase.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which is characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor forming in the liquid phase.
Each element and compound has its own temperature at which the phase change from liquid to gas (evaporation) occurs. For instance, the evaporation of water occurs at 100oC, whereas the same for (liquid) oxygen is -182.96oC. Some substances sublimate, i.e. that change from solid to gas without going through the liquid state/phase first; e.g. (solid) carbon dioxide.
This physical change is called freezing.
Solid to liquid: meltingLiquid to solid: freezing
Phase in science terms mean a "phase change," which occurs when a substance changes form.
As the suns rays heat the water the particles in the water start to speed up. As this happens the water converts to water vapour and this process of converting water into vapours is called evaporation.Vaporization of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase. There are two sorts of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at temperatures below the boiling temperature at a given pressure.Boiling is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at or above the temperature the boiling temperature.
