Vaporization vs. Evaporation — What's the Difference?

Vaporization (or vaporisation) of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance.

To convert or be converted into vapor.

The process of turning from liquid into vapour

A conversion of a solid or a liquid into a gas.

To convert or change into a vapor.

A destruction of something by turning it into vapor.

To draw off in the form of vapor.

The act or process of vaporizing, or the state of being converted into vapor; the artificial formation of vapor; specifically, the conversion of water into steam, as in a steam boiler.

To draw moisture from, as by heating, leaving only the dry solid portion.

Annihilation by vaporizing something

To deposit (a metal) on a substrate by vacuum sublimation.

The process of becoming a vapor

To change into vapor.

To pass off in or as vapor.

To produce vapor.

To disappear; vanish

The process of a liquid converting to the gaseous state.

The process in which all or a portion of liquid (in a container) is turned into vapour, in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture.

(archaic) That which is evaporated; vapor.

The process by which any substance is converted from a liquid state into, and carried off in, vapor; as, the evaporation of water, of ether, of camphor.

The transformation of a portion of a fluid into vapor, in order to obtain the fixed matter contained in it in a state of greater consistence.

That which is evaporated; vapor.

See Vaporization.
