  • Vaporization vs. Evaporation: Understanding Liquid to Gas Change
    Liquid to gas evaporation is called vaporization.

    Here's a breakdown of the terms:

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

    * Evaporation: A type of vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid, and can happen at any temperature below the boiling point.

    * Boiling: A type of vaporization that occurs when a liquid reaches its boiling point and the vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.

    So, while evaporation is a specific type of vaporization, both terms describe the process of a liquid becoming a gas.
