Melting Point

• A temperature at which solid melts into liquid

Boiling Point

• A temperature by which liquid turns into gas

Evaporation

• A liquid evaporates more quickly as its temperature approaches its boiling point.

• The liquid water has become a gas called water vapor in the air. This is the process of evaporation. We can think of a vapor as a gas at a temperature below its boiling point.

Difference Between Evaporation And Boiling

• Evaporation and boiling both involve a liquid turning into a gas

• Boiling only happens at the boiling point of the substance. Evaporation occurs at all temperature

• For a liquid to boil, it has to be heated -the kinetic energy of its particles must be increased. Evaporation happens when the most energetic particles escape.

• Boiling happens throughout the liquid. Evaporation only happens at the surface.

• A boiling liquid bubbles. A liquid can evaporate without bubbles.
