Question

What is the difference between boiling point and evaporation?

Answer 1

evaporation- the surface of the liquid is heated slowly and eventually becomes a gas

boiling- the entire liquid is heated and the entire liquid becomes a gas

Answer 2

While they both start as a liquid and end with a gas, they're not the same thing.

Evaporation occurs on the surface of the liquid, while the boiling point is when the liquid reaches a certain temperature that triggers the change to a gas.
