  • Vaporization: Understanding Liquid to Gas Phase Change
    The process by which matter changes from a liquid to a gas state is called vaporization.

    There are two main types of vaporization:

    * Evaporation: This happens when a liquid changes into a gas at the surface of the liquid. It occurs at temperatures below the boiling point and is a relatively slow process.

    * Boiling: This happens when a liquid changes into a gas throughout the entire liquid. It occurs at the boiling point of the liquid and is a much faster process than evaporation.

    Both evaporation and boiling are examples of endothermic processes, meaning they require energy input to occur.
