Vaporization of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase. There are two sorts of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.

Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at temperatures below the critical temperature.

Boiling is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at temperatures above the critical temperature.
