Differentiate between evaporation and boiling. [2]
2Answer
| **Feature** | **Evaporation** | **Boiling** |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Definition** | Loss of liquid molecules from the surface into the vapour phase at any temperature. | Rapid conversion of liquid into vapour throughout the bulk of the liquid at a fixed temperature. |
| **Temperature** | Occurs at all temperatures below the boiling point. | Occurs only at the boiling point of the liquid. |
| **Surface Effect**| Only surface molecules escape. | Entire liquid converts into vapour. |
| **Energy Requirement** | Requires less energy; endothermic but slower. | Requires more energy; rapid and vigorous. |
| **Bubble Formation** | No bubbles formed. | Bubbles of vapour form throughout the liquid. |
| **Example** | Drying of clothes, water from a puddle. | Water boiling in a kettle, cooking rice. |
