  • Understanding Vaporization: From Liquid to Gas
    The change in state of matter from a liquid to a gas is called vaporization.

    There are two types of vaporization:

    * Evaporation: This occurs at the surface of a liquid when some of the molecules have enough energy to escape into the air.

    * Boiling: This occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point and the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure, allowing bubbles of vapor to form throughout the liquid.
