EVAPORATION

Evaporation is the change of state from a liquid to its vapour at any temperature. Although both boiling and evaporation involve the change of state from a liquid to a vapour, there are important differences. Evaporation of liquid occurs due to molecules, at the...

States of Matter

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). Matter exists in three physical states: *Liquids and gases are called fluids The three states respond differently to changes in temperature and pressure. They increase in volume with an increase...
