Matter in Our Surroundings

Question:

What are the differences between boiling and evaporation?

Answer:

No.BoilingEvaporation
1It occurs at a specific temperature.It occurs at all temperatures.
2It requires heat energy to be supplied by external sources.In general, liquid absorbs heat energy from its surroundings.
3It takes place throughout the liquid.It is a surface phenomenon and occurs only at the surface of the liquid.
4It is not accompanied by cooling. The temperature of the liquid has increased.In this process, the region surrounding the evaporating liquid gets cooler.
5It is a rapid and noisy process.It is a slow and quiet process.
6Temperature of the liquid remains constant at the boiling point.Usually the temperature of liquid drops.
