They change from a liquid to a vapor (gas).
Any form of liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the boiling point (different for each type of alcohol).Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a volatile liquid and changes in to vapours at every temperature although its boiling point is 78.5 Celsius.
Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches its boiling temperature. When alcohol reaches its boiling temperature, each molecule of alcohol has enough energy to separate from each other, so each molecule can move freely. The boiling point of liquid alcohol is 351K or 78C
Evaporation is a physical change- it is still alcohol. The change can be undone by colling the air and condensing the ethyl alcohol vapor back to liquid alcohol.

the change of a liquid ie, water to vapor is evaporation.
A given form of liquid alcohol will turn to vapor at its boiling point, which is different for each type of alcohol.
Properly speaking, you should say vapor to liquid; "steam" specifically means water vapor. The answer depends on the pressure, but at standard pressure (about 101 kPa) the boiling point (liquid to vapor) of 2-propanol is 82.5 degrees Celsius, and the condensation point (vapor to liquid) is the same.
No. If you heat liquid alcohol enough it will evaporate and you will have alcohol vapor, but its still alcohol. Making it a physical change. If you expose alcohol to a flame and burn it, that will change the alcohol into carbon dioxide and water, then it's a chemical change.
