Yes, they can occur at the same time.
Evaporation is the process whereby the molecules of the liquid which possess enough kinetic energy (KE) escape from the liquid.
Condensation is the process whereby the molecules of the vapour which possess too little KE, thus return to the liquid.
While there are molecules that possess enough KE to be vapour, there can also be vapour molecules that possess too little KE to be vapour (for example: Clouds). The two kinds of molecules can co-exist.
Thus, evaporation and condensation can occur at the same time.
When the rate of evaporation is greater than the rate of condensation, there is a net decrease in the amount of molecules in the liquid, and vice versa.

Distillation?
The process of evaporation(boiling) and condensation at the same time (simultaneously) to get pure liquid from a solution is known as Distillation.
Does evaporation and condensation works?
yes, they do work, but I don't think they can work at the same time!!!
What makes evaporation and condensation alike?
Evaporation and condensation are both phase changes of matter that involve the transfer of energy. During evaporation, liquid water changes into a gas due to the gain of heat energy, while during condensation, water vapor changes back into a liquid due to the loss of heat energy. Both processes play important roles in the water cycle and can occur at any temperature.
Can you compare evaporation and condensation?
Evaporation is the process in which there is a change of state from liquid to gas. Condensation it is the process in which there is a change of state from gaseous to liquid or solid. Evaporation takes place from surfaces, all the time at all places Condensation can take place on surfaces, or at any place in a gas, though it is often aided by the presence of dust or other small particles. Evaporation absorbs energy. Condensation gives out energy.
How can you tell if the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation?
When the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation, the system reaches equilibrium, and the amount of water evaporating from a surface is equal to the amount of water condensing back onto the surface. This can be observed by monitoring changes in the amount of water vapor in the air or measuring the rates of evaporation and condensation over time.
Does evaporation of ocean water rarely occur?
No, it evaporates all the time.
Would a cold can outside on a warm sunny day cause evaporation or condensation?
A cold can outside on a warm sunny day would cause condensation. When the warm air comes into contact with the cold surface of the can, it cools down and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water on the surface of the can.
Jokes involving evaporation condensation?
I find myself confused every time I open a can of Evaporated Milk. There's always liquid in it.
What steps in the water cycle follow evaporation?
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation! YAY! My fourth grade teacher taught me a little song. It was really catchy. I don't think I will forget any time soon. :)
What is the process which liquid water changes to water vapor?
The process of liquid water changing to water vapor is called evaporation. This occurs when water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid state and become water vapor in the air. Evaporation happens at the surface of the liquid and is influenced by factors such as temperature, surface area, and air movement.
Why does condensation occur in a plastic bag?
it happens because what ever item you have in the bag has/had moister in it so after time the moister tries to evaporate but it cant because of the bag so it turns into condensation
More molecules are leaving the liquid state than are returning?
This describes a situation where the rate of evaporation is higher than the rate of condensation. It results in a net loss of molecules from the liquid state, leading to a reduction in the volume or mass of the liquid over time.
