Answer

Evaporation is vaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling. Vapor pressure is a measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid in a sealed container in which a dynamic equilibrium exists between the vapor and the liquid. Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is just equal to the external pressure on the liquid.
