Here's a breakdown:

* Vaporization: This is the general term for the process of a liquid turning into a gas.

* Evaporation: This is a specific type of vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid. It happens when molecules at the surface gain enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid state and escape into the air.

* Boiling: This is another type of vaporization that occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point. At this point, the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure, and bubbles of vapor form throughout the liquid.

All three processes involve a liquid changing into a gas, but they differ in the conditions under which they occur.
