What is Evaporization?

Evaporization (also called vaporization) is the phase transition in which a substance changes from its liquid or solid state to the gaseous state. It includes both evaporation (which occurs at the surface of a liquid below its boiling point) and boiling (which occurs throughout the liquid at its boiling point). The process requires energy input equal to the enthalpy of vaporization of the substance.
