They are similar in that both result in some of the liquid being lost to the surrounding ambient volume as a gas. The specific gas depends on the liquid. It's called steam when the liquid is boiling water. It's called humidity when it's evaporated water.

They are different in the speed at which the liquid is converted into gas and in the nature of the gas emitted into the air.

For evaporation, the liquid quietly off gases fairly slowly so the amount of gas (molecule sized particles) above the liquid is typically not visible to the naked eye. But for boiling, the liquid bubbles and off gases fairly rapidly so the amount of gas above the boiling liquid is seen as steam (if the liquid is water). We see the steam and not the humidity because the size of steam particles is larger than the molecular size of humidity.

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.


Three differences between evaporation and boiling?

EVAPORATIONtakes place at the surface of liquid.heating not requiredtakes place at all temperature.results in cooling since heat is absorbed from the surface.BOILINGtakes place throughout the liquid.requires heating.takes place at different temperature.doesnot results in cooling.


The three isomers of pentane have different?

boiling points due to differences in their molecular structures, resulting in variations in intermolecular forces. Normal pentane has the highest boiling point due to stronger London dispersion forces between its straight chain molecules. Isopentane has a lower boiling point due to the branching in its structure, while neopentane has the lowest boiling point due to its highly branched and compact structure.

What is the difference between evaporation and vaporization?

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.
