Here's why it's a physical change:
* No new substances are formed: The molecules of the liquid simply spread out and move faster when they become a gas. They are still the same molecules.
* The change is reversible: You can condense the gas back into a liquid by cooling it down.
There are two main types of vaporization:
* Evaporation: This happens slowly at the surface of a liquid at any temperature.
* Boiling: This happens throughout the liquid at a specific temperature called the boiling point.
