Liquids are constantly evaporating but it's only at the boiling point that all the particles have enough energy to go from liquid to gas.

e.g. Water molecules can evaporate off of wet clothes at a temperature other than 100 Degrees Celsius.

That is the evaporation?

Transformation of a liquid in a gas at a temperature under the boiling point is called evaporation.


How is evaporation different from boiling?

Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas at a lower temperature, while boiling is the process of a liquid turning into a gas at its boiling point.


What is liquid to gas evaporation called?

1. When the phenomenon occur at a temperature under the boiling point, at the surface of a liquid, the term is evaporation.2. When the phenomenon occur at the boiling point, in all the volume of the liquid, the term is boiling.


Does liquid boil at or below its evaporation temperature?

A liquid starts to evaporate at its boiling point. Boiling is the action of the liquid turning into a gas (evaporation)


Does air and water affect evaporation?

Evaporation is the transformation of a liquid in a gas at a temperature under the boiling point.


What is the three differences between evaporation and boiling?

Boiling occurs when the vapour pressure becomes equal to the external pressure while evaporation is the escape of molecules from the surface. Bubbles appear in boiling while not in evaporation. Temperature does not effect the rate of boiling while evaporation is fast at high temperature and slow at low temperature.


The conversion of a liquid to a gas below the boiling point?

A liquid can convert to a gas at a temperature below the boiling point because the boiling point is recognized to be a property at standard pressure. At a lower pressure a liquid may boil off at a temperature much lower than the standard boiling point.


How is evaporation different from boiling water?

You boil a substance to evaporate the liquid.


Compare and contrast between boiling and evaporation?

Evaporation takes place at any temperature but boiling takes place only at a substance's 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.


Liquid water can change to water vapor through boiling or?

evaporation. Boiling occurs when water reaches its boiling point temperature, causing rapid vaporization throughout the liquid. Evaporation, on the other hand, is the slow vaporization of water at temperatures below its boiling point, occurring at the surface of the liquid.


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?

The process is called evaporation. It occurs when a substance changes from a liquid to a gas at a temperature below its boiling point, usually at the surface of the liquid.
