Question

What is the difference b/w Evaporation and Boiling point? What is melting point?

Answer 1

Evaporation is the process in which there is phase transition occur from liquid to gas. On heating the liquid starts vaporising and converted to gas. This process is called evaporation. Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. The melting point is the temperature at which the solid is converted to liquid.
