Vaporization is the action that converts liquid to vapor.
In physics, vaporization is one of the changes in the physical state of matter, being from the liquid to the gas.
The opposite of vaporization, that is, from gas to liquid, is condensation.
These concepts are objects of study in thermodynamics.
vaporization processes
There are three vaporization processes:
Heating
When the liquid rapidly changes to a gaseous state. Like when a drop touches a metal plate and turns to steam.
Boiling
The pressure remains constant and the temperature rises, the particles stir and bubbles form when the liquid reaches boiling temperature. It's a quick change of state.
Evaporation
Slower than boiling, the pressure is also constant and occurs at any temperature but below the boiling temperature. It is influenced by factors such as atmospheric pressure, the volatility of the liquid, the area of contact with the air, and the temperature of the liquid under its normal conditions.
