A phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase or state of matter to another. Types of phase transitions are called melting, boiling, etc. They are just terms to describe the specific transition.

How are evaporation and boiling the same and different?

Evaporation and boiling both involve the transformation of a liquid to a gas, but boiling occurs at a specific temperature throughout the liquid, while evaporation can occur at any temperature at the liquid's surface. Boiling is a rapid process, causing bubbles to form, while evaporation is a slower process where individual molecules escape from the liquid's surface.


Why does diamond and methane have a different boiling and melting point?

Methane consists of separate CH4 molecules that can move freely and are only weakly attracted to one another. Diamond consists of a covalent network in which each carbon atom is strongly bonded to its neighbors.


How do you use boiling point in a sentence?

The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance boils. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. You have to have an accurate thermometer to measure boiling point.


Do isomers have the same boiling point?

Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but different structures. Due to their different structures, isomers can have different boiling points.


How are evaporation and boiling the similar?

Evaporation and boiling are similar in that they both involve the transformation of a liquid into a gas. However, boiling specifically occurs when a liquid reaches its boiling point throughout the entire substance, resulting in bubbles forming within the liquid. Evaporation, on the other hand, can occur at any temperature as molecules escape from the surface of a liquid.

What energy transformation is in a boiling pot of water?

The energy transformation in a boiling pot of water is from thermal energy (heat) to kinetic energy (movement of water molecules) as the temperature rises and water molecules gain enough energy to escape as water vapor.

Boiling is the phase where the boiling occurs. The point at which the boiling occurs is the boiling point.


What is the energy transformation for boiling water?

The energy transformation for boiling water involves the input of heat energy to break the intermolecular bonds between water molecules, causing them to change from a liquid to a gas state. This process is known as a phase change from liquid to gas.
