SteveEvaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid, where individual molecules escape into the air, while boiling happens throughout the bulk of the liquid, with bubbles forming and rising to the surface. Evaporation can occur at any temperature, while boiling specifically happens at the boiling point of a liquid.

What is a nonexample of evaporation?
An example of a nonexample of evaporation would be boiling water, as boiling involves the rapid vaporization of water at its boiling point, which is different from the slower process of evaporation.
How are evaporation and boiling the same and different?
Evaporation and boiling both involve the transformation of a liquid to a gas, but boiling occurs at a specific temperature throughout the liquid, while evaporation can occur at any temperature at the liquid's surface. Boiling is a rapid process, causing bubbles to form, while evaporation is a slower process where individual molecules escape from the liquid's surface.
What is the name of the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at a temperature below the substances boiling point?
The process is called evaporation. It occurs when a substance changes from a liquid to a gas at a temperature below its boiling point, usually at the surface of the liquid.
What is the three differences between evaporation and boiling?
Boiling occurs when the vapour pressure becomes equal to the external pressure while evaporation is the escape of molecules from the surface. Bubbles appear in boiling while not in evaporation. Temperature does not effect the rate of boiling while evaporation is fast at high temperature and slow at low temperature.
Compare and contrast between boiling and evaporation?
Evaporation takes place at any temperature but boiling takes place only at a substance's boiling point.
