How does evaporation differ from boiling?

Answer»

Evaporation and boiling are both processes that take place in liquids where a CHANGE of state occurs liquid → gas.

Evaporation can take place at any temperature between the melting point and boiling point of a liquid. But boiling can only OCCUR at the boiling point (ALTHOUGH boiling point does vary based on atmospheric pressure)

When evaporation occurs, PARTICLES only change into gas at the surface of the liquid. When boiling occurs particles change from liquid to gas throughout the whole liquid.
